Wow, Agatha Christie wrote a lot of books (and stories)! I read the Miss Marple books and stories first (my favorites), then all the Hercule Poirot, then everything I had skipped. Months of reading Agatha Christie, and I never got bored, or tired of it (though I did start to fall into the formula, and be able to predict when various parts of the book would happen).
I think my favorites are still the Miss Marple stories, because she's brilliant and humble, but not above making trouble. She is exactly who I aspire to be as I get older. And the reflections on age, getting older, and the changes Britain has gone through from 1930 to 1970 are fascinating.
Hercule Poirot was a close second favorite -- I know Christie hated him (and has Mrs. Oliver complain bitterly about that at every opportunity), but I loved his deliberate broken English (I know someone real who does that, too), his quirkiness, and his incredible compassion for everyone. Also, the first stories were written in the 1920's, and the last in the 70's, so rather than reflect on all the changes, the reader can experience them as they happen. The world of parlourmaids and wealthy aristocrats gives way to impending war, then the Blitz, and then postwar shortages and taxation. The featured characters go from wealthy aristocrats to impoverished genteel families. Eventually the mods and hippies start showing up, and soon Poirot finds himself in what is essentially the modern world. It's an amazing journey, and I learned much more about British history (as it felt to those it was happening to) than I would have imagined.
I have an incredible fondness for Superintendent Battle, and I like Colonel Race as a character, though he always seems a bit shady to me. Though the Tommy and Tuppence books and stories are fun, I just don't enjoy them as much -- maybe I'm just too old (though they are as well, in the later stories).
The standalone novels vary wildly in quality; I loved some of them, and some of them were less interesting. The solo form gave Christie an opportunity to try some interesting ideas, and taking risks always creates some spectacular successes and some lesser works.
My absolute favorites were Murder on the Orient Express, A Caribbean Mystery, Hickory Dickory Dock, The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, and The Man in the Brown Suit, for what it's worth.
Really great stuff!

This book is volume 1 and is on my Nook. I have searched for Volume 2, but all I have found is a collection of 41 volumes for sale in total. She was a very prolific writer.
I must say I enjoy Poirot greatly. He is helping me become more methodical.
