No, you do not have to read Hercule Poirot books in order to fully understand the series. Each book is a standalone mystery that can be enjoyed on its own.
Not really. All books follow on from one another, Hercule Poirot's follow on from one another, etc. They may have certain references to other books in, but generally no. The only book that might be considered to have a sequel is the first Hercule Poirot, 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles' The last book in the Hercule Poirot series 'Curtains: Poirot's Last Case' is also set at Styles, so I recommend that you read 'Mysterious Affair...' before you read '...Poirot's Last Case'
The recommended reading order for the Poirot books is to start with "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" and then follow the publication order of the books by Agatha Christie featuring the detective Hercule Poirot.

There are a total of 45 novels and numerous short stories featuring the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, created by Agatha Christie.
Pretty soon they will run out of Poirot novels and short stories to adapt. David Suchet has commented that he expects that they will have made adaptations of all Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot stories by 2012. This doesn't necessarily spell the end, however. For example, the series Midsomer Murders has continued way beyond adaptations of the original books written by Caroline Graham. The past few series have been written by a variety of screen writers and feature the credit "based upon characters created by Caroline Graham". There is no reason that they couldn't do the same with the Poirot series.
The Belgian detective is called Hercule Poirot.
A lot of the Agatha Christie characters have been in films. Such as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.

Dame Agatha Christie created several well-known characters: -Hercule Poirot (with his helper, Hastings) -Miss Marple -Tommy and Tuppence -Parker Pyne -Harley Quin -Ariadne Oliver My guess would be Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are her best known.
