I'm in the process of reading "Murder on the Orient Express." At first I started reading the Poirot mysteries because I wanted to continue reading Agatha Christie, although I wasn't interested in reading about this annoying little detective. But of course, once I started, I got used to his ways, imagining him pronounce his French accent, enjoying they way he keeps his ideas from Captain Hastings. The "little grey cells, sparkling green eyes, and the moustaches!"
The list below has titles which I think are multiple titles for the some of the same books that are published in the same year. Most of my information came from Barnes and Noble, and some from Wikipedia. I won't be able to know if some of these titles are the same until I get to read the actual book. Sorry.
