The Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie
5.0

I read tons of Agatha Christie as a teenager and I gladly reread her works when I have the chance. There is something very comforting about a good Christie. She respects her readers, while not trying to shock them with gory details and grizzly scenes. I know her murders are very bourgeois, but that’s what makes them comforting.

Since I read so much of her work, it’s hard to find something new. This short story was a nice diversion - fresh, twisty enough, ironic enough, and the culprit stayed secret till the very end. Win-win!
