Hercule Poirot series by Agatha Christie.

My most favorite books ever. Read most of them. Agatha Christie wrote her first novel The My sterious Affair at Styles in it she introduced Hercule Poirot a little Belgian Detective who became the most popular detective after Sherlock Holm es. Poirot thinks of himself as the best and brags about it. Hates sea voyages, makes him sea sick . Unlike Sherlock Holmes who solved cases by deduction, Hercule Poirot solved cases by understanding the psychology of a person.

Miss Marple series by Agatha Christie

    I have read three books on this series. One is Nemesis, 4:50 from Paddington and a short story collection. Real nice books though personally I like the Hercule Poirot books from this author.     In this series there is a deceptively frail old woman called Miss Marple. She lives in a village and solves cases. Believes that a person's behavior can be compared with that of another person. Usually solves her cases this way. In fact Agatha Christie herself liked this character better than Hercule Poirot though he became more popular.
