A great introduction to Christie

A fast-paced read, targeted at young adult readers, this is a great way for newcomers to Agatha Christie's works to get started. Yes, the plot is perhaps a little too full of 'convenient' coincidences, but nonetheless it's a book spiced with Christie's flavor for straight-to-the-point narrative and of course the obligatory sting in the tail. You'll probably figure out the mystery halfway through; there are plenty of clues in there, but, just when you think you've got it... well, give it a go. The best recommendation I can make is after reading this, you'll want more.
