The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories
by Agatha Christie
The Witness for the Prosecution is a collection of short stories and I was halfway through the first story before I realised I had read this book before. But since I couldn't remember the conclusion of most of the stories, I enjoyed them just as much as I think I did on my first read.
Now I'm not the biggest fan of short stories and especially when it comes to a collection of them, there are generally some I love, some that are just okay and some that don't impress me. But every single story in this collection was brilliant. Christie manages to mislead the reader every single time, making them think they know what's going on and then nicely delivers that twist at the end. Of course, once you get used to the pattern it does make a few of the endings a little predictable but I still had a great time reading them. And the cherry on top was the final story, where Hercule Poirot makes an appearance
