Cada livro desta autora confirma a sua consagração como a melhor neste género literário.

O mistério do comboio azul » uma vez mais a forma como as personagens que aparentemente não têm nada em comum se ligam e a última personagem que pensaríamos se revela como o assassino, prova a mestria desta autora

O Homem que era o nr. 16 » Tommy e Tuppence não há como não gostar deles e do seu sentido de humor

Mistério do comboio azul - primeiro livro da Agatha Christie e adorei. Poirot é deveras um personagem bastante interessante, tal como o plot twist no final do livro.

O homem que era o n°16 - gostei bastante do formate deste livro, são várias histórias, todas mini-aventuras policiais de Tommy e Tuppence, um jovem casal de detetives cujo o humor de ambos considero um dos pontos fortes deste livro.
