This is my first short story collection by Agatha Christie and I thought they were very clever and intriguing. Despite their length I think they are still able to give just enough information for you to investigate yourself without also giving it away. A very enjoyable read.
Moderate: Alcohol, Blood, Death, Grief, Gun violence, Drug use, Violence, Toxic relationship, Murder, Misogyny, and Medical content
