3 Agatha Christie Series I Recommend If You Love Solving Mysteries Till the Very End
These stories are twisted right to the last page — or in this case, the last episode.
Agatha Christie has been the queen of crime fiction for over a century. Guinness World Records names her the most published novelist ever, with nearly four billion copies sold. No wonder filmmakers keep adapting her work.
Lately, TV has become the perfect format: more time for red herrings, secret motives, and the thrill of playing detective yourself. Here are three standout Christie adaptations that kept me guessing till the end.
And Then There Were None
BBC’s version of Christie’s most famous novel is chilling and stylish. Ten strangers arrive at a mansion on a remote island, only to be accused of murder by a mysterious recording.
What follows is a deadly game where everyone is a suspect. The miniseries stays true to the book while dialing up the darkness, with Sam Neill and Aidan Turner leading a stellar cast.
The Witness for the Prosecution
Just two episodes, but the tension is razor-sharp. In post-war London, a young man is accused of murdering a wealthy woman. His only hope may be his lover Romaine — though her intentions are far from certain.
Moody, atmospheric, and unsettling, it feels both classic and fresh.
Ordeal by Innocence
Christmas Eve, 1954: wealthy Rachel Argyle is murdered. Her adopted son Jack is convicted, insists on his innocence, and dies in prison. A year later, a stranger claims Jack was framed.
Now suspicion poisons the entire family. Dark, psychological, and layered with secrets, this adaptation is hauntingly compelling.
