My review is bound to be boring. Have I lost you already? Anyway, if I had read the book recently for the first time, then I'd have set the rating at 5 stars. But who's counting?
The brain behind this series is long dead. If only the life span of us humans was 200 or 300 years. Imagine Agatha Christie now in her prime, trying to write (and easily succeeding) stories that enchant the mind and ensnare the senses.
This is the second best collection of short stories I've ever read. What's the first? Stay tuned.

I also always wonder if Agatha Christie was still alive, I always feel a little bit of sadness when I remember that she died and there are no more of her great novels

She kept on writing even when she was not up to it. The dotage that preceded her death was just as humanly sad. Thanks for contributing.

Thanks, Adrian.
Yes, if only....she is the Grand Dame of mystery. Just don’t read the new Hercule Poirot books by the author commissioned by AC’s family. I’d read the originals over and over before I’d read another one of those.
Consider the matter closed. I happen to know that her name is Sophie Hannah, but I'd rather read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies than collect the new Poirot books.
