An enjoyable collection of Christie

An enjoyable collection of Christie works that includes those beyond the usual Poirot or Marple characters. A nice final one from Christie’s autobiography. Well read and performed. Some stories are from other collections so cross-reference before purchasing.

disappointing

I didn't like this book at all. one of the narrators was so awful I literally had to skip her story. no need to get such a silly accent!
the stories are kind of ok but nothing exciting
