This is a collection of twelve chilling short stories by Christie.

1-Murder in the Mews ***
A good night for a murder! Or is it?

2-The Case of the Rich Woman ***
An apparent case of money overload!

3-While the Light Lasts****
Haunting and tragic. Which to choose? Love or money…or death?

4-Triangle at Rhodes*****
Can Poirot prevent a murder without losing himself inside an eternal triangle?

5-Death by Drowning ****
Was it suicide or murder? Miss Marple knows the answer!

6-The Bird with the Broken Wing***
A tragic death; sinister forces are at play!

7-The Lemesurier Inheritance ****
An old family curse; is it real or someone is killing the heirs one by one?

8-The House of Lurking Death ****
A box of poisoned chocolates; who is it intended for?

9-Tape-Measure Murder *****
A humdrum, everyday life. And—suddenly—murder. An old-fashioned murder!

10-The Voice in the Dark ****
Is she hearing voices or going off her head?

11-Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds ****
A simple case of accidental death or a simple push?

12-The Witness for the Prosecution*****
Leonard Vole is innocent. Leonard Vole is guilty. Leonard Vole is innocent…Drama, drama, drama!

The last of the HarperCollins collections of seasonally based Agatha Christie short stories. I really enjoyed this set; there was actually one story I did not remember reading before ('While the Light Lasts', not one of her detective stories more of a psychological tale) plus two Harley Quin stories ('The Bird With the Broken Wing' and 'The Voice in the Dark'). There is also the pleasing addition at the end of 'Witness for the Prosecution', with probably the most shocking last line of any Christie story
