A 'Fairly' Complete Bibliographical List of Agatha Christie's Publications

In one bibliography there is mention of 55 Poirot short stories and 20 Miss Marples. Some dates, perhaps some books even, are missing until I can track down that information. An important collection that should be added to this list is The Mousetrap and Other Plays (1978), introduced by Ira Levin, which collects some of her stage plays in theater mode: if you can wade through the format (stage directions and all), it is well worth reading -- different genre, conveying most of the action through dialogue alone. (But I think "The Mousetrap" finally closed, after some 40 years of continuous performance in the same theater.)
