Yep! Let me see... this entry explains it best. Although it's rather rambly and functions more as an explanation of why I like it so much, with a review/explanation embedded within. http://nuranar.livejournal.com/66986.html Cherryh is the author and she's written a lot of different stuff, but the Morgaine books were the first I read and still my favorites.
Glad to for the reverse rec! :D
The Secret Adversary is one of Christie's thriller-type books; they're inherently my favorite! If you like that one, you should definitely read Partners in Crime as well, the sequel. (There are other T&T stories, but they're later and some are weird.) Others in that subgenre: The Man in the Brown Suit The Secret of Chimneys; sequel The Seven Dials Mystery The Boomerang Clue/Why Didn't They Ask Evans?
I recommend all of these highly.
For Poirots, just try a couple of the earliest/best ones. If you don't like them still, don't bother. :) The Mysterious Affair at Styles (the first Poirot and a terrific book) Murder on the Links Thirteen at Dinner/Lord Edgeware Dies Peril at End House
For Miss Marple, two recs at the top of my mind: The Tuesday Club Murders is a set of short stories. Depending on your tastes, it could be a great intro; however, most of the Miss Marple stuff is in full length books. My mother's favorite and mine is Murder at the Vicarage.
