An Amateur Sleuth Reads Agatha Christie Books for the First Time! 🕵🏼‍♂️🔍

[@Nick_C1997]

The twist for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was surprising when it was written for 2 reasons, first of, no one back then really used the unreliable narrator trope as much as it’s used today. Second, since Sheppard was helping Poirot in the investigation, more or less, people would have been less suspicious of him, it would be like reading a Holmes novel where the killer is revealed to be Watson

[@camillafladberg673]

I would recommend the old tv- series/films where David Suchet is playing Poirot over the newer films. He is so good, and the atmosphere is 💋.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you for the recommendation, going to see if I can find it on streaming and give it a watch, I am so interested in seeing more adaptations now, but only of the books I've read, I want to see if I can solve more Christie cases first hehe

[@dfreemanbooks]

Suchet was the best! I thought the Suchet version of Death on the Nile was WAY better than the Peter Ustinov version from the 80s. And I don't think I even wanna see the new version after the way they butchered the recent Murder on the Orient Express movie with Kenneth Branagh and Johnny Depp.

[@camillafladberg673]

@@dfreemanbooks I could not agree more… 😊.

[@dfreemanbooks]

@@camillafladberg673 Some of the new adaptations are so outrageous. I get the idea of updating some aspects of Christie's novels and trying to draw in new readers, but so many of the recent adaptations are horrible (like The Pale Horse with Rufus Sewell!). However, I did like the recent-ish adaptation of And Then There Were None with Aidan Turner and Charles Dance. It was a fresh, modern retelling that stayed true to the original storyline and tone.

So we read books or rode our bikes to Baskin Robbins for ice cream and that was a typical summer day. Sometimes I would go over to her house and she was so excited about a book that she made me read it right then and there.

[@Mai2727]

It's impressive that you guess Roger Ackroyd! But wondering WHY you guessed it, it's because it's an almost 100 years old book. We can guess her twists now because she was a trendsetter, and we've consumed media that has been inspired by her, but in 1926 it was a different deal.

[@readingsloph7584]

I’ve actually read all these. But I am not the genius you are and saw none of the clues and guessed none of them correctly. I love Christie’s books. Hoping to get through them all one day

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oh you, I’m not a genius really, I was just lucky 🥰

[@lorannamoody7011]

Spend some time with just one of her books. Once you figure out the clues, the others will just fall in place. She always plays fair and she always tell you who the culprit is.

[@KatieColson]

I have never paid this much attention to a video. When you were reading And Then There Were None, I was like “what’s he gonna say next? Is he gonna get it? Omg he’s right AGAIN?!” You we’re absolutely killing it with these guesses. A modern day Box Carr Boy over here! I played Vera in my towns production of this and it is SUCH a good play! We would take a poll at intermission to see who people thought had done it. That was so fun

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Omg did Kim get footage of you playing Vera because I NEED to see you in this role! Also it's the way I could guess who it was but never how they did it, I would be a great little sidekick for Poirot should he ever have needed me ❤

[@LaurenMichele]

Since you loved "And Then There Were None," I would HIGHLY recommend the 2015 BBC miniseries. It is so good! Probably my favorite Christie adaptation. 🕵️‍♀️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahhhh gonna see where I can watch it and watch it STAT

[@animalhousereader]

[@ASHLEY.397]

Which one?

[@LaurenMichele]

@@ASHLEY.397 Which adaptation? I was talking about the 2015 BBC miniseries. 😊

[@kathleenverhulst4833]

Oh I would definitely recommend Crooked house which is a standalone novel. Mara from Bookslikewhoa has read all Christie novels and has several excellent non spoiler videos about them if you need more information about Marple, Poirot or something else she wrote. Also the series with David Suchet is a must watch and is very Midsommer murdery set in the 1920-1950. He is the perfect Poirot. The older movies are also good.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahhh I own Crooked House - I was gifted it last year and now I'm so excited to read it. I'll have to do a part 2 of this to see if I can crack the cases of more Christie novels! And I watched Mara's complete ranking of Christie novels today to see which ones she put low and high, and it was so interesting. Can't wait to read more Christie 🥰

[@dfreemanbooks]

Those are good videos from Mara. There's also a long-running podcast called 'All About Agatha' where the hosts are reading and ranking every Christie novel. They're also reading all the short story collections, but they're not ranking those. One of the co-hosts sadly died in December, but the other co-host is pressing on. He's down to the final 3 or 4 novels. It's very good.

Poirot is absolutely sassy and dramatic and sometimes mean! But I love him for it :P I am so glad you enjoyed your first agatha christie read, murder on the orient express. YES and then there none is still my favourite agatha christie and I love that you loved it too. And you were so good at working out who was going to die next in that one. You did a good job sleuthing and solving death on the nile! That was one I got too as well :3 Yes, her books are very character driven and all you really get of the setting is that it is isolated. All Christie fans love Poirot's grand reveal scenes :D Some people get the roger ackroyd off the bat but I absolutely didn't simply because I didn't think she would dare. I also don't necessarily try and solve the crimes while reading though, I actively try to avoid doing that because Christie does have a pattern to her books and it would become too easy :P But I accidentally solved murder on the orient express and death on the nile without really trying to. And yes, I don't know the how ever though, like you! LOVED THIS VLOG SO MUCH

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahhh thank you for watching Olivia 🥰

[@Linnadra]

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is my favourite, the twist is just so good! But other than that I really love Evil Under the Sun and Lord Edgeware Dies! I really recommend them. Oh, and I'm pretty sure most of the old David Suchet episodes are actually on youtube!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oop catch me watching the episodes on KZbin STAT, also thanks for letting me know your favourites!

[@hannahcrossett3415]

No book has made my little sister angrier than Murder on the Orient Express. She vented so much after being so invested in guessing who the murderer was and narrowing the murderer down.

[@JackalopeHope]

You're scary good at guessing the twists in these books 🤯 Another one of Christie's books that I think has a really good twist is The Pale Horse! It's really different from the Poirot stories. It's got some spooky, witchy elements, and similar small-town vibes to The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oooo The Pale Horse you say?? Wonder if I can figure that one out too 👀and it sounds right up my street!

[@procrasy]

Dammmmn, the way you got The murder of Roger Ackroyd so right. I missed all those hints you got when I read it.

[@betsey2966]

“I have a theory that it was all of them” 🤣 should be the joke made in every subsequent Christie book theory. I’ve been saving the rest of the vlog until I’ve read the others. Finished Death on the Nile so watching that now!

[@rachelspencer9456]

“And Then There are None” has long been my favorite but I also have really enjoyed “Three Blind Mice.” It was originally written as a play but was it later adapted. It is part of a short story collection called Three Blind Mice and Other Stories. “A Murder is Announced” is also another favorite.

[@DarlingDesi]

I have never clicked on a video so fast 😍 I AM SO EXCITED the way i’m just sitting here eating cereal and my Agatha Christie fangirl heart is just giggling at your predictions and reactions to reveals 😁 how are you SO good at predicting the murderers?

It's the way I've bumped up my ratings for all of the books in this video because I am still thinking about how much I enjoyed them all days later 😂Desi why didn't you force me to read Christie earlier? I LOVE HER!! haha

[@ace-of-teacups]

I've been a fan of hers for decades! After you've started with the Miss Marple books (you already have The Body in the Library!), make sure to check The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, it's intense. I love your tea and books sweater. When you said "I have a theory" I immediatelly continued with "That it's a demon. A dancing demon? Wait, something isn't right there" and so did you *O* It made me so happy somehow.

[@krisprepolec5616]

Such a fun video! I loved watching you trying to solve the mystery. I have read all of these, so it was like experiencing it for the first time. I had decided to read the entire Agatha Christie canon this year, in chronological order. I am using the All About Agatha podcast as a guide, reading, and then listening to that episode right after. I am reading the physical books, but listening to the short stories. The ones narrated by Hugh Fraser (Hastings in the Suchet series) are the best. I have been getting them from my library.

Five Little Pigs is my favorite Poirot novel! Make sure you add that to your list. And make sure you read some Miss Marple novels - The Body in The Library, A Murder is Announced, and The Murder at the Vicarage are some of the best Marple mysteries. Some of the stand alone mysteries are also excellent - Crooked House, Ordeal by Innocence, and Toward Zero. Just be aware that not all of Christie's books are of the same quality. She wrote some stinkers, especially the spy thrillers and some of her last dozen or so mysteries.

Ahh!! I love love love Agatha Christie, I've read around 50 of her books. You did really well guessing! I also guessed The Murder of Roger Ackroyd right. I do find that if you read her books back-to-back, it gets a lot easier to guess because you just tune in into her patterns and know what to look for. I usually space out her books a bit. But you should absolutely read more from her (and vlog!) - you didn't even get to any Miss Marple books. And check out other classic mystery authors. It's so fun to watch you solve the mysteries. My least favourites: The Seven Dials Mystery, Evil Under the Sun, The Secret of Chimneys, Appointment with Death, The Listerdale Mystery, Murder is Easy. Some of my favourites: And Then There Were None (obviously!), The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Thirteen Problems (short stories), Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Mrs. McGinty's Dead, Peril at End House, A Murder Is Announced.

[@ameliamoonbeam5799]

This is unbelievable!! Most people find these books impossible to solve, I've read about 65 of her books and can now pretty much always solve them but at the very beginning I hardly ever solved them!! The murder of Roger Ackroyd is my absolute favourite and is one of the first ones I managed to solve but everyone else I've seen read it hasn't solved it. The best one the start with is the mysterious affair at styles which is the first Poirot book. It's a good introduction to his character but is also incredibly clever. The first one I ever read was a murder is announced which is a miss Marple book and that is definitely also one of my favourites. My least favourite is obviously the Big 4 which is well known as being awful as Christie write it to piss of her publishers who wouldn't let her out of a publishing deal. One that I really hate that other people love is actually Death in the Nile, I just think it's so incredibly boring, it felt like it went on fovever and I didn't find it at all gripping! Heads up with the film, I would read the Poirot books you want to read first because they get his characterization so incredbily wrong and which really ruined it for me. I was also incredibly upset at how they took such an iconic, very clearly asexual and aromantic character and gave him a female love interest, it made me so uncomfortable and I felt incredbily invalidated after seeing it. Still worth a watch but just bear that in mind. Great video though, your so fun and comforting to watch and so nice to see a fellow Geordie enjoying Agatha Christie:)

So fun to see you reading Agatha Christie and enjoying the books. I grew up reading the Miss Marple mysteries. But "And Then There Were None" is my favorite. Although back when I read it the book was called "Ten Little Indians". That was the US title. The UK title was even worse. If you get an older edition you will be exposed to a lot of problematic references. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the books because it's a reflection of the times in which the books were written. In my opinion it's not fair to judge those parts against modern standards. I just think about how far we have come. :)

I guessed whodunit in Roger Akroyd too, BUT before I read it people told me that I would never in a million years guess who did it. Which is a pretty big clue in itself. Because i could easily guess any of the other characters. And I noticed the carefully worded issue too.

[@HannahBearclaw]

I absolutely adore your content!

[@aminadelalic579]

You should try solving Five Little Pigs next, that one is, in my opinion at least, one of the best Poirot novels.

[@michellebunting8050]

I'm new to Agatha Christie's work. I've seen the film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile. I would love a Wine and Crime book club to read and solve the mystery along with you.

[@kaitlyn_reynolds]

If you like Agatha Christie books then I highly recommend the Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen series. It's a middle grade series following a young Agatha as she solves mysteries with her best friend Hector Perot. I'm on the third book now and they're amazing. I can completely imagine a young Agatha solving mysteries with her best friend and then growing up to be a famous mystery author 🥰🥰

[@samworley3960]

omfg this vlog was so good!!!! also wow gav I didn't know you were a genius!?!?!? first time I read all of these I didn't guess any of them LOLLLL okay but you should read a Miss Marple one next and my fav for her are At Bertrams Hotel and 4.50 from Paddington! Also, Hercule Poirot's Christmas is soooo good!

[@sauronbagginsd8032]

I’d highly recommend the 2015 BBC adaptation of And Then There Were None

[@pulitzer5]

I recommend crooked house. It was one of Agatha Christie's favorites

[@rootingbranches]

Can't watch until later tonight but wanted to squeal over this being over 1hr!! Yeeesss. Chilling the wine now.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Yayyyy get the wine out!! I end this vlog with wine so that's perfect haha hope you enjoy 🥰

[@anjaf92]

Love this video soo much. ❤️❤️ Would love another one where you read some of her other books. Would love your thoughts on Halowe’en, cards on the table, Evil under the sun and after the funeral. 🥰❤️❤️

[@lu2883]

If you watch the new movie I recommend watching the ones starring Peter Ustinov as Poirot. He's in Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun (Maggie Smith is in it too and the scene where Poirot goes swimming is THE best) and Appointment with Death. The new ones are good but I love the old ones. Ustinov's Poirot is so much more...I don't know, odd?

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oooo it sounds like Peter Ustinov’s portrayal of Poirot is how I picture him in the books, I like the odd nature of Poirot!

[@lu2883]

@@GavinReadsItAll yeees! And for Miss Marple I recommend the movies with Margaret Rutherford. She's so much fun and I love how she drags Mr Stringer, the librarian, into her investigations every time. There are four movies with her.

[@paperbacksgalore]

this video is so fun!! I can’t watch the last part though because I haven’t read that one yet

[@WilliamsLibrary]

OK. I watched to the end. Try reading 'Evil Under The Sun'. Our teacher in school had us try to figure out who did it.

[@emmyxb94]

I could watch hours of you reading and guessing these books 🤩

[@SDFGReturns]

I love this series! Well done

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

Not me having a dance party with myself 4 minutes into your vlog haha LOVE it!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

YEESSS DANCE PARTY!!

[@BaileeWalsh]

Gavin in a Victorian detective outfit saying, "And I'm just excited to try my first Agatha Christie books! Eeee!" is so cute! I've seen the 1945 adaptation of And Then There Were None but I have never read any Agatha Christie as far as I remember. The thing is I do remember at least looking at her books at school libraries growing up but I don't think I ever read any.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oooo maybe I need to try out the 1945 adaptation of And Then There Were None!

[@Loonadance1212]

You would probs really like the mini serie for And then there were none since you loved the book ! The actors are so good !

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Looking it up now, thank you for the recommendation!

[@ktxx22]

You are a genuine sleuth 🕵️!! I loved watching you read these and figure them out so far in advance. I’m telling you my brain does not work this way it needs to to figure out these mysteries!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I don't even know how, I just picked up on one suspicious thing and I latched onto it in the hopes I was right 😂I need to try and figure out the "how" as I could never figure that out, so next time I will try and focus on the "how"

[@ktxx22]

@@GavinReadsItAll ooh! I absolutely cannot wait until your next round of these! I would love to know what you’re reading in advance so that I can read them before the Vlog comes out I think that would be a blast!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@ktxx22 keep an eye on my monthly TBR videos, I’ll most likely be talking about them in whichever month I decide to do them 🥰

I love this video!! I watched 2 sections yesterday because I haven’t read the rest but I just finished the murder of roger ackroyd and it was so good!! I had to come back to see that section!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you for coming back to the Roger Ackroyd section and glad you enjoyed it too 🥰

[@avy466]

Hehe I’m back for the third time for death on the Nile 😂

[@welshreader]

I love Aggie C and I LOVED this video! I haven’t read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd yet as I’m making my way through the Miss Marple books but once I do I’ll come back and watch that section👀 You’re an amazing detective btw! Very impressed by your sleuthing skills🔎

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahhh I hope you enjoy Roger Ackroyd, please let me know if you figure out who it is when you read it! Love that you're reading Miss Marple, any recommendations from those books?

[@welshreader]

@@GavinReadsItAll Will do! My favourites so far are A Murder is Announced and The Body in the Library but I still have a few to get through at this point. This video’s actually inspired me to pick up my next one which is going to be A Pocket Full of Rye🕵️‍♀️

[@welshreader]

I’m back! It took me a few months but I finally read it and LOVED it🤩 I didn’t catch on as quickly as you but I was definitely getting weird vibes from the Doctor. Really liked the fact that we’re reading from the murderer’s perspective too👀
