In one of London's most elegant shops, a decorative doll in green velvet adopts some rather human, and sinister, traits....A country gentleman is questioned about a murder that has yet to be committed....In summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined possible....In a small country church, a dying man's last word, sanctuary, becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime. Only the Queen of Crime could have conceived such delicious treats for mystery lovers. Only the inimitable Herule Poirot and Miss Marple could solve them with such chilling perfection.

She is the creator of the two most enduring figures in crime literature—Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple—and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre. Christie was born in Torquay, Devon in 1890. She died in 1976 in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and entertaining

It's always nice to take a break from heavier reading and relax with an Agatha Christie story. It's hard to believe that this book was published 46 years ago. The stories are still fresh and entertaining.

Dame Christie wandered into the paranormal realm a couple of times with The Dressmaker's Doll and The Last Seance. Otherwise, Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple are at the top of their game.

This book has a variety of stories in it. Some include Hercule Poirot while others include Miss Marple. I prefer to read one story but it's nice to change it up too.
After all, it's still Agatha Christie.

Each story is unique and interesting. Christie’s short stories are just as engaging as her novels. A couple were very unusual such a the doll that shows up everywhere and the woman who was the medium. Both were down right creepy!! Enjoy this read!!

This was a quick read, with short stories of Poirot and Miss Marple I hadn't read before. They kept my attention and inspired me to go back to reading Agatha Christie some more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017

I would recommend this collection to any A.C. fan but anyone who enjoys thrilling and suspenseful short stories would enjoy this collection. There was a variety of stories and touched on all things chilling: death, jealousy, greed, and the supernatural. I bought this collection on a whim while at recovering from an extended illness. I read this entire collection in 1.5 days. I definitely will revisit this collection and read it again. The reason I did not give this a perfect score was because a few of the stories left me a little unsatisfied. I turned the page expecting the complete resolution only to find the next story.

Ik wilde de bestelling annuleren, slechts een paar uur erna, maar dat kon niet meer. En voor de retour moest ik de kosten zelf betalen, dus niet gedaan. Het product was wel in goede staat, maar niet wat ik wou.
