I'm trying to read all of Christie's writings, and I was disappointed with this. I thought I would love it, but I had already read all but two of the short stories. Of course, I love reading anything with Poirot and Hastings, but I was hoping for fresh material. ( )

Collection of short stories, most of which have been published before in other collections, although there were a couple that I didn't remember. As I've been reading Christie's crime stories in publication order, it was nice to see Hastings again. ( )

As much as I prefer Christie's novels over the short stories, I do find that the short works make for interesting little diversions. As ever, they are well crafted and sure to entertain and amuse. ( )
