Совсем не люблю современные детективы и криминальные сериалы - не понимаю удовольствия в том, чтобы ковыряться в грязи или щекотать свои нервы, и так стоящие дыбом после рабочего дня.

Но детективы "золотого века", да и даже детективы Чейза - совсем другое дело.
Первые чрезвычайно пуритански изолируют вас от деталей, представляя по сути чисто интеллектуальные загадки. Для своего времени, конечно, они ровно также били по чувствам своих современников, как это делают современные детективы с нами. Очевидно, мне нравится в них вовсе не то что замышляли их авторы, но это вовсе не портит удовольствие.

И даже детективы Чейза, уже более похожие на современные, происходят в настолько устаревшем антураже, что я не могу воспринимать их как что-то реальное и бьющее по нервам.

Рассказики Агаты Кристи в этом сборнике, как всегда великолепны - занятные сюжеты, лампово-теплое изложение.

Это чтение для релаксации, а не чтобы щекотать нервы.

Say what you will, but Agatha Christie is the Queen of crime and these short stories are her best (and I can say that with confidence, because I have read all of them). We find ourselves in the company of a writer, an artist, a lawyer, a doctor, an ex Scotland Yard agent and Miss Marple. The group decides to start a mysteries club, where everyone will present a mystery for others to solve. Watch with awe how Miss Marple puts everyone and their guesses to shame, while knitting. Do I need to say more?

Readathons:
The BookoplAthon: a steal book (a book from TBR of someone else)
Magical Readathon: Orillium - The Novice Path - Obsidian Falls - mystery or thriller

It seems confirmed now that I do like Christie’s short story collections, but only when they’re not about Poirot. I also am really looking forward to more Miss Marple - I think I only read a small handful of her books as a child but as an adult I really like her quiet intelligence.
