This book just had a bunch of short stories that Agatha Christie wrote. These ones were fun because they were shorter, and they got to the point much faster than her longer format books. But they weren’t particularly memorable for me. Still a fun, fast read.

Agatha Christie, para mim, é a rainha dos livros de mistério, mas tenho mixed feelings sobre este livro. Por um lado amei praticamente todas as short stories, mas por outro lado havia histórias tão curtas que ficávamos sem perceber nada e nem dava para irmos tentando descobrir o criminoso ao longo do livro.
Foi uma ótima leitura de transição de verão para outono, mas não é necessariamente uma leitura de verão, até porque os crimes não são passados especificamente nesta época.

A nice collection of Christie stories - not all of them mention Summer or is taking place in Summer per say, but otherwise a fun read.
