Why Didn't They Ask Evans? - Agatha Christie

The Clicking of Cuthbert - P.G. Wodehouse

Murder in the Mews and Other Stories - Agatha Christie

The Mystery of the Blue Jar: A Short Story - Agatha Christie

The Sunningdale Mystery: A Short Story - Agatha Christie

Golf is key to a number of books by Agatha Christie (not only in the Poirot series -- Hastings is not the only character by Christie who is an ardent golfer). So my list of favorites is largely a mash-up of BrokenTune's and Obsidian's:

Agatha Christie favorites:

1. 4:50 From Paddington

2. Murder on the Links

3. Why Didn't They Ask Evans?

Honorable mentions from my TBR:

1. P.G. Wodehouse: The Clicking of Cuthbert (short stories)

2. Ian Fleming: Goldfinger (I've seen the movie but have yet to read the book)

... and a few Christie short stories:

1. Murder in the Mews (Poirot)

2. The Mystery of the Blue Jar (standalone)

3. The Sunningdale Mystery (Tommy & Tuppence)
