Yet to read a bad Poirot tale, another collection of great cases from the Belgian investigator.

In spite of the title, not an especially seasonal collection.

I only read the title short story and not the whole set.
It was cozy and in true Poirot style.
Enjoyable read for the holiday season. I really liked how Agatha Christie based the setting and atmosphere of the story on her Christmas experience as a child (minus the crime, of course).

Not a bad mystery, I guess. I listened to the BBC dramatization and I was constantly asking myself if it was Christie or adaptation. Especially the end result.

Very cute and very surprising! I love that even the short stories can be a great mystery.
