Ugyan álnéven romantikus regényeket is írt, ugyanakkor kirobbanó sikerét detektívregényei hozták meg számára.

Christie első regényét, A titokzatos stylesi esetet 1920-ban adták ki, ebben a történetben mutatta be az olvasóknak Hercule Poirot-t, aki azután hosszú időn át, összesen 33 regényben és 54 novellában szerepelt.

A másik ismert szereplője Miss Marple, aki A kedd esti klubban (The Tuesday Night Club) szerepelt először, és akit olyan nőkről formált meg, mint saját nagymamája és az ő régi barátnői.
