The Listerdale Mystery by Agatha Christie – Book Review
I assumed I was done with Christie’s short stories, but I was wrong: there remained twelve more tales of intrigue to finish, which mostly land on the fun and frothy end.
Poirot’s Early Cases by Agatha Christie – Book Review
The last short story collection on my Agatha Christie Challenge list is an enjoyable selection of early cases that established Poirot’s professional reputation as (probably) the best detective in the world.
Problem at Pollensa Bay by Agatha Christie – Book Review
A collection of eight short stories featuring Hercule Poirot as well as some of Christie’s less-known detectives. You could generously describe it as eclectic, but “random” feels far more accurate.
The Mysterious Mr Quin by Agatha Christie – Book Review
A collection of short stories blending mystery and romantic melodrama, about a strange crime-solving partnership that has more than a tinge of supernatural. Put it under another Christie book I appreciated much more on a re-read.
The Labours of Hercules by Agatha Christie – Book Review
This imaginative short story collection, inspired by Hercule Poirot’s first name, riffs on the ancient Greek myths but with little grey cells replacing muscles.
Parker Pyne Investigates by Agatha Christie – Book Review
An enjoyable stand-alone collection of short stories featuring one of Christie’s lesser known detectives.
Partners in Crime by Agatha Christie – Book Review
My Christie re-readathon keeps coming up with pleasant surprises. I’ve never read these loosely linked short stories before, but the last Tommy and Tuppence book on my list turned out to be the most enjoyable one in the series.
While the Light Lasts by Agatha Christie – Book Review
A collection of early short stories that I suspect would only be of interest to diehard Christie devotees and completists.
