    Only works written by Christie (including short stories, the novels and her play Black Coffee) are considered canon by most fans and biographers.

    The Poirot books are still under copyright in the United Kingdom. The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder on the Links and Poirot Investigates are now public domain in the US but will not become public domain in the UK until 2046 (70 years after Christie's death). Christie's grandson, Mathew Prichard, now owns the copyright to his grandmother's works.

    In 2013, the Christie estate authorised author Sophie Hannah to write a new Poirot book, The Monogram Murders (2014). She later also wrote Closed Casket (2016), The Mystery of Three Quarters (2018), The Killings at Kingfisher Hill (2020) and Hercule Poirot's Silent Night (2023).
