Agatha Christie is the best. Really the best. Poirot, Marple, Ten Little Niggers, plays, films, everything is amazing. Only exception are her later years when she gets quite a bit senile, so just go by her publication date.
After you have enough of her; Maigret, Lupin, Name of the Rose, Maltese Falcon, Secret Agent, Sherlock Holmes...
