A Christmas Tragedy: A Short Story by Agatha Christie
mysterious
fast-paced
2.0
I couldn't really get into this one. I understand that, when you've written as many mystery stories as Christie has, some of the tropes will get used over and over. I feel as if I've read the twist about the body several times already from her, so it's hardly much of a surprise when that same narrative trick pops up yet again.
Maybe the tragedy here is that Christie ate a little too much of the brandy butter with her plum pudding, and wrote this, half-drunk, on Christmas evening. That would explain the repetition.
