It feels there is somehow even more racism/xenophobia in Christie’s short stories than her longer works. Her plotting, pacing, and personal knowledge of chemistry/medicine are fantastic but it’s hard to focus when slurs against Asians show up without preamble.mal_eficent's review against another edition

That too written by Christie
And
Which includes Papa Poirot
Is a must read for any Christie fan.
.
I won't say it's a best
Yet I was only able to guess the end in one or two stories.
Hence is definitely good collection of short mysteries.
.
These stories are very small like 15-20min stories each.
Some of these are really brilliant like unexpected end.
And others are also something which is not easy to guess.
.
I will suggest this to the beginners in Mysteries or beginners of Christie.
And ofcourse a Christie fan should definitely read it.
.
And also for those who think they are as smart as Poirot and make good use of their grey cells 😂
They should really read it and see that they are as smart as Poirot or not.
.
Overall I enjoyed reading them.
Other Mysteries will seem too long now
With detailing 😂
.
Moderate: Death
