Absolutely wonderful. I love how these were short stories which blended into eachother a little because they were being told by people around the room. The final story was brilliant as well really rounding of the stories in a great way!

Fun short stories, with good twists. I will say many of them are near impossible to guess but I still had a good time

Absolutely the best Agatha Christie mystery short story collection I've come across. It's not just a random assortment of tales but a seamlessly interconnected book where each successive short story serves as a chapter in a captivating novel.
The storyline revolves around a group of people gathering every Tuesday night to share past mysterious, often murderous, happenings. Each storyteller holds the key to the solution, leaving the others to analyze and make their best guess. To everyone's surprise, it's the unassuming elderly village lady, Miss Jane Marple, who unfailingly unveils the truth every time!
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection, especially because each mystery had its own self-contained chapter, making it easy to dip in and out. A definite recommendation from me. My personal favorite has to be The Blue Geranium.
