Quiz: Which Agatha Christie Mystery Should You Read Next?

Do you enjoy a good detective story, Reader?

At this moment, I'm listening to The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie (impeccably narrated by Hugh Fraiser). This is one of Christie's more well-known books, and, I must say, it's good so far.

Want to get matched with one of her lesser-known titles?

Then, I've got a fun quiz for you.

These quizzes are—of course—just for kicks!

I hope this one makes you smile and give you a good book rec on this fine Friday.
