It's hard in a way as what some people find scary, other dont and vice versa. But I'm really creeped out by ventriloquist dummies, but not all people are!
Murder is Easy I found really tense. The Pale Horse has an element of fear in the unknown and supernatural. I like the way AC isn't gory, but can thrill and build the suspense without violence. But your friend might not see it that way!
The most blood let is Hercule Poirot's Christmas.

The Sittaford Mystery has a seance scene but I haven't read it yet.

I loved Sittaford Mystery, but it seems to be quite unpopular on here...

The Sittaford Mystery is something of a fan favourite; at least that was the case on the old site. Just to be clear, we ARE talking about the book, not the movie. The movie was an embrassment, and it remained the apex of the recent Marple films' silliness until Why Didn't They Ask Evans? came along.
The Pale Horse, The Sittaford Mystery, Sleeping Murder, and And Then There Were None are the obvious choices.

Oh yes, go leafs, I am most definately talking about the book and not the recent adaptation featuring Miss Marple. I am glad to say I haven't seen it as a matter of principal, as I could see no good coming from shoehorning in a character who had no business being there in the first place. The book itself had long, long been a favourite of mine, being one of the first AC's I ever read and then owned, and I have no desire to see the plot ripped to shreds in the name of 'entertainment'.

Has Why Didn't they ask Evans? been aired in the UK go leafs?

I live in Britian and no Why didnt they ask Evans hasnt been shown yet. It will probably be on the shelf at ITV for next couple of years, before it's dusted off and finally shown.

What would you say are the scariest books by Agatha Christie? The thing is, I'm determined to convert my friend to Christie-ism but he really only likes horror. I gave him a copy of "And Then There Were None" to borrow, but what else would he be interested in?
