For Poirot, "Murder on the Orient Express" is also great. Not a Poirot novel, but "And Then There Were None" is still an all-time favorite.

I just read And Then Were None as my first Christie book and I was absolutely blown away by it. Cannot recommend enough. I’ll be tackling Poirot novels next but wanted to start with a standalone.

Many consider this to be a proto-slasher story.
