A Goodreads user asked Robin Stevens:

This is my second time writing to you! :D Which is your favourite Agatha Christie story and which would you recommend to a 9-year-old?

Robin Stevens Thanks Mazzy! I really love Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile - I think they're good to start with if you're a fan of my books because First Class Murder and Death Sets Sail are based on their settings!

I first read Agatha Christie when I was 11 and I think that's probably a good age to start, as they're a bit scarier than my books at times. They have brilliant plots but there are some racist, sexist, uncomfortable things in them which might upset you, so I think it's always worth having an adult around who you can talk to about them. Plus it's fun to discuss theories with someone!
