Murder in the Mews by Agatha Christie

kieshab84's review against another edition

There is nothing inherently wrong with this book. However, I don't like the fact that it's four short stories. I was looking forward to a nice 'long' mystery starting my favorite Belgium and instead got bite sized pieces.

Fun short stories - enjoyed seeing how the third one was a reworking of the shorter story version (for a minute I was worried Christie was just obsessed with dinner gongs...).

I enjoy this book mostly for the titular short story, but in my opinion you truly can't go wrong with Poirot.

I didn't expect 4 short stories,but loved them anyway. Agatha is indeed the Queen Of Crime, her stories leave me hooked from start to finish.

Except for the third case, they're all quite boring to be honest. Still, a good book if you just want to pass the time.
