Your rating:
I believe this is the first time I've read Christie. Quite enjoyed these little mysteries, especially that some contained the same characters.
Most of the short stories were good and I didn't figure out the ending. There were one or two of the eighteen that I thought fell rather short/were unimpressive. Also, there was at least one (The Fourth Man) which I felt really was different from the others in that it was a more "supernatural" instead of a human cause, though it was still enjoyable.
Narrators were fine English gentlemen with lovely voices, I was speaking with an accent for the rest of the day. =)
Will be searching out more Christie!
