rclyburn's review against another edition
…didn't quite finish it, as my audiobook expired. It was my introduction to Agatha Christie.

I love Agatha Christie. She is surprising, funny, has a knack with twist endings, and a romantic. Totally loved reading almost every story in this collection, although there were a few racially prejudiced moments that made my skin crawl. :/

Very disappointing for Christie. The short stories were not mysteries but instead weird and often supernatural tales that were unsatisfying and poorly written.

A good old fashioned and solid mystery. I loved the atmosphere, the main character and the plot.
The language is fascinating as the setting.
This book aged well and I look forward to reading other John Crow mysteries.
