The Poirot Reading List

Outset Poirot Reading List

Introducing the definitive Hercule Poirot reading list, designed to answer all your FAQs about the Poirot stories.

  • If I only want to read three, five, or ten novels, which should they be?
  • I want to read the stories in order. Where do I start?
  • How many Poirot stories are there to choose from?
  • I want to avoid spoilers. Which books should I be wary of?
  • I can't find that one. What is this Christie book called in the US?

The list can be printed out and used as a reading log, or downloaded onto your phone or tablet to track your progress. Rate the top ten stories, cross books off chronologically as you read them, and make notes about your favourites. Share your reading progress with us on social media via Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
