For teachers

We know that some of you like to use Agatha Christie’s novels and short stories in your classroom – as her detective novels are accessible and motivating reads for young people. And Then There Were None is probably the most popular book and is used especially for summer reading programs in the US. Other books to try are Murder on the Orient Express and The ABC Murders – a serial killer novel with a difference.
