I apologize, but Ms. Agatha is not on my genre shelves. Instead, I have a guy named Sam, a rather bulky orchid lover named Nero, an ex-L.A. cop named Jesse, a chap named James, just James, and a guy who owns a 1911 named Betsy.
I read the Nero Wolfe stories more than once, even when the “solution” (e.g. “The Red Box”, “Please Pass the Guilt”) is weak. The characterization, the build-up, the pacing, all well-woven together. Agatha Christie was mainly about the “puzzles” (”Murder on the Orient Express”, “Ten Little Indians”). The answer is generally very well crafted, and in the case of “Express” and “Indians” brought a new twist to a genre that had seemed to exhaust every combination of solutions. But, once read, it is done. But I have read “Some Buried Caesar”, “The Doorbell Rang”, “Too Many Cooks”, “And Be a Villain” multiple times. I still want the recipe for sausage minuit.
