Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is probably the most well known of the English cozy Mystery writers. She was prolific in her writing, devious in her plotting and I, at least, love her books. I know most people don't like to read a mystery a second time because you already know the ending. But I enjoy reading them through again to see just how she did really plot it. I like to watch for the clues that lead to the culprit and follow the twists of the plot like a road map, expecially when you know where you are going to end. Sometimes the second reading is more fun than the first.

Some of my favorites are listed below. This is not all of her works, it would take forever to list them all.
