A Reader's Guide to Hercule Poirot | Where to Start with Agatha Christie's Poirot Books

Hello and welcome to the third video in my series 'A Reader's Guide to...' My subject today is Agatha Christie's famous detective Hercule Poirot, star of 33 novels and over 50 short stories.

In this guide I will be talking about who Hercule Poirot is, along with Hastings, Ariadne Oliver and any other recurring characters in this book series, a timeline of the books, a brief summary (without spoilers) of each book, a little look at the film and TV adaptations, and my thoughts on what the best order would be to read them in!

Please do comment if you'd like to see any particular series or character featured on this series of mine. I do have more planned for future episodes of 'A Readers Guide to...'. Thanks for watching. Please let me know your thoughts on Poirot in the comments: do you have a favourite book or short story featuring the legendary Belgian detective with the "little grey cells"?

As mentioned in the video, there is an excellent guide to reading the Poirot books and stories on the Official Agatha Christie website, here: https://www.agathachristie.com/en/new...
