Overall I liked all the Poirot ones.
The Miss Marple one... not so much! Felt a bit rushed...

A fun Poirot novella with a Boxing Day prank with a good payoff.

Ok I am choosing some shorter selections as I realized I still have to read 40 books in 2023 to meet my reading goal. (Panic) This was a fun festive Poirot read with some truly choice lines and moments as usual. Really enjoyed.

A delightful book, a great way to start the year. All solid short stories.

It's been awhile Agatha Christmas. Fun little mystery--perfect to listen to while doing Holiday cards.
