I'd previously read only one story in this, "Christmas Adventure," which stars Hercule Poirot. He's in several other stories, and there are also some with Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, and some other semi-regular characters of Christie's.
Aside from that one, which I like a lot, my favorite stories were "The Manhood of Edward Robinson," which had a lovely twist, and "The World's End," which delighted me with the way it ended.
The subtitle to this book is "Fireside Mysteries from the Queen of Crime," and these stories are absolutely as cozy as that implies. I'm really glad I picked up all four of these seasonal Christie collections, and I'm looking forward to the spring and summer editions!
If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG for murder, mild innuendo here and there, and a couple instances of mild cussing.
This is my 35th book read for my fourth Classics Club list.
