3.0

My first Agatha Christie, and it might have been a bit too much for a first foray. SO many stories and with many with similar tropes that they began to run together. I did really enjoy Philomel House and The Dressmaker's Doll and a couple others I can't recall the titles of (downside of the audiobook - only track numbers, no chapter titles!). Some stories are "Scooby Dooish" with scientific explanations or culprits; others play happily in the realm of the paranormal.
It is appropriately thematic for October, so I could see myself revisiting a few of the stories during spooky season.
