       I don't know who hasn't read some of Agatha Christie's work over
       the years.

       I have read most of her work. I refuse to read Curtain because I
       know Poirot dies. Other than that, I think I've read them all.
       I started reading Agatha Christie when my brother complained
       that she had lied to prevent the reader from figuring out who
       the murderer was. He wouldn't tell me which book it was, so I
       read all five that our library carried. I couldn't find any
       lies. Misdirection, sure. But no lies.
       Over the years I managed to pick up about ten of her books at
       yard sales. I took them with me when I left home so I would be
       sure to have some reading material. I reread them several times
       over the years. My mother would have been appalled! She believed
       no book should ever be read more than once, and no show or movie
       should ever be watched more than once. She claimed it would
       cause diminished intelligence.
       I read not too long ago that Christie wrote her first book when
       dared to try her hand at writing. That gives me hope that I,
       too, can succeed as an author.

       I love Agatha Cristie... I was late to her books and have mostly
       read her other series (Not Poirot) but still loved her style and
       the way she catches you up in the crime.
       I haven't ever seen a "lie" in any of her books, as you said
       misdirection, but that just goes with any good mystery novel.
