I've been so busy, I couldn't think straight. What better way to relax than to curl up with some short stories from Agatha Christie?

I racconti misti hanno un tono diverso rispetto alle solite raccolte della Christie, alcuni sono proprio gotici e carichi di suspence; inquietanti, in particolare, "La bambola della sarta" e "L'ultima séance".

Great mix of short stories in this one from Poirot and Marple and even some spooky stories thrown in as well. You know, it’s really a shame that Christie didn’t write more supernatural/paranormal stuff because she’s fantastic at it
