This was a good set of short stories! I'd heard one of them before and I didn't like the Miss Marple story, but the remaining Parker Pyne (new detective to me!) and the Poirot cases were great! Short stories aren't usually my favorite medium but these worked out well for me.
Nice collection of short mysteries from the queen of mystery.

It's entertaining, not her best but I never enjoyed her short stories as much as the novels.

I am always astounded by the variety in Christie's mysteries. Only one short story in here I had already read (The Dream), so I enjoyed this compilation.

Solid collection of Christie short stories. Fun in that it includes Poirot, Miss Marple, and Parker Pyne.
I love Christie's books, but cannot NOT mention the gross sexism and racism on display. Even Poirot isn't immune from the -isms on parade in some stories. Great mysteries, horrible portrayal of women, the poor/servant class and 'foriegners'. Read with caution.
