This is the 15th Agatha Christie book I‘ve read. Some novels, and some collections like this. These were clever. Two I actually had figured out, which I enjoy of course. #scarathlon

I liked these 9 stories featuring Poirot, Miss Marple, & Parker Pyne. Most of them are Poirot mysteries. A little easier to play armchair detective because the length means not as many red herrings. #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick 136 points
Definitely one of my favourite collections of short stories from Agatha Christie. Each was a great little tale!
More short stories from Agatha Christie, this time featuring not only Poirot but Miss Marple and Parker Pyne too! I‘ve never read anything featuring Pyne so I enjoyed his cases particularly.
Probably more of a so-so than a pick. This isn't one of the Christies I would make a habit of re-reading. That said, I did inadvertently re-read it because two of the stories appear in The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding.
Whew those early Poirot stories are r a c i s t as f. Ugh. The Parker Pyne ones are interesting, and I had quite forgotten him. The Marple one remains decent. Overall, meh.
Havin a mini Christie fest over here while the like 50:books I had plans to read sort of ... drift. 😂😂😂😳🕵🏻♂️🕵🏼♀️🏹🔪🧨🗡🚬⚰️🧪💉
Enjoyable book of short stories featuring Hercule Poirot, Miss Markle, and Parker Pyne. My only complaint - the short stories were so....short.

"What are the years from twenty to forty? Fettered and bound by personal and emotional relationships. That's bound to be. That's living. But later there's a new stage. [...] No man or woman is actually himself (or herself) till after forty-five. That's when individuality has a chance."
? I never thought about aging quite like that. I'd like to hope to give individuality a chance sooner.

Tea and Agatha Christie - it doesn't really get better than that.
As they talked, her eye met that of Mr. Parker Pyne. It passed over him with well-bred nonchalance, but he knew that he had been assimilated and labeled.
