Superb writing, very enjoyable

One should never underestimate the superb storytelling ability of Agatha Christie. I have read/heard most of these stories before, Marple, Poirot, and some of the less well known observers of humanity - but this collection is well worth the listen. All are well narrated and each portrays a collection of characters accompanied by their various involvements and motives.

Agatha Christie Sinister Spring

Great stories as usual from Agatha Christie. Excellent narration by well known actors including David Suchet! so we got the story read to us by the actual Hercule Poiroit! I enjoyed it immensely and I cannot get enough of the Queen of crime.

Unrelated Short Stories …

This collection is a motley assortment of unrelated short stories - all (I believe) are available elsewhere. The saving grace is that they are all expertly narrated. So, revisiting these minor works is still a pleasant way to pass the time.

A Wish That There Was A Sequel.

The very, very best of Dame Agatha Christie’s short stories. A good number of both Poirot and Marple to satisfy fans of each. Plus a good number of the standalone mysteries. If you were a Tommy & Tuppence fan, then you’d be disappointed - only one story and that was the weakest tale included.

A thoroughly enjoyable collection. I listened to the audiobook version of this title and all the narrators, Isla Blair, Hugh Fraser, David Suchet and Juliet Stevenson were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Excellent performances

Some of the lesser known short stories recompiled with a great cast to make the most of them. Enjoyable afternoon listening
