Agatha Christie works in Chronological order

So I have tried to gather all her works and made a list of them in chronological order as the title mentions. I will be reading them in that order as much as I can. I do hope to be able to get the works be it in physical, digital or audiobook format. I'll really try to get to as many of them as I can during the rest of the year.

So I own a few of the books, seven of them but in such a messy collection. Two of them are in mass-market English version and four of them in a mass market paperback booklet version and the last one is an old hardcover that I found in a used book store. 

Here they are so you get an idea:



I clearly do not care much about my book series to match. Good thing the people who visit do not really care about an aesthetically pleasing bookshelf. 

I already started to read them. I had initially found a list and it was a bit out of order so I read Murder at the Links first, but then went back to the start of my list and will follow the order included here, I hope I missed very little. We'll see as we go along.
