This is the 15th Agatha Christie book I’ve read. Some novels, and some collections like this. These were clever. Two I actually had figured out, which I enjoy of course.
An enjoyable collection of short stories first published during the 1930s featuring three of Agatha Christie's most famous detectives--Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, and Mr. Parker Pyne.
I started this knowing I'm not a fan of her short stories, realised it had two of her other detective characters and sadly didn't care.
Off to the next!

Aside from the problematic elements in these stories due to the time period in which they were written, these are otherwise some simple and well-executed short stories. Agatha Christie really never disappoints and these stories are no different. They’re great as a series or to take one at a time when you only have a few minutes to spare.
