Summary
From the Queen of Crime, the first time all of her spookiest and most macabre stories have been collected in one volume.
‘From behind the curtains there still sounded the terrible high long-drawn scream - such a scream as Raoul had never heard. It died away with a horrible kind of gurgle. Then there came the thud of a body falling....'
For lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling tales from Agatha Christie. Acknowledged the world over as the undisputed Queen of Crime, in fact she dabbled in her early writing career with mysteries of a more unearthly kind - stories featuring fantastic psychic visions, spectres looming in the shadows, encounters with deities, eerie messages from the Other Side, even a man who switches bodies with a cat....
This haunting compendium gathers together all of Christie’s spookiest and most macabre short stories, some featuring her timeless detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Finally together in one volume, it shines a light on the darker side of Agatha Christie, one that she herself relished, identifying 10 of them as ‘my own favourite stories written soon after The Mysterious Affair at Styles, some before that’.
Critic reviews
"Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction." (Tana French)

Good collection, with index!
A good collection of short stories, most with clever twists and all beautifully read. And, just as importantly, this is well packaged with each story named and taking a single chapter. (This is in complete contrast to another short story collection I have from Audible which is presented in a shambles. You don't appreciate the good collections until you have great stories shamefully wasted in a poor product.)

classic and enjoyable Christie
A lovely collection superbly narrated by Finella Woolgar. Her skill and diversity with both accents and character creation deserves applause and really brings this little book to life.

Loved every story
Fenella Woolgar is an excellent narrator and really brought the stories to life. I love Agatha Christie, it was her novels that got me into reading books instead of comics, many years ago.

Outstanding
I had no idea Agatha Christie wrote such a variety of stories. These are beautifully dated and completely engaging. And the narrator is just perfect: she has a great range for characterisation but maintains the sense that this is how the stories would have originally been told. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Narrator
I thoroughly enjoyed this selection.perfect for listening to in bed as always easy to pick up if you fall asleep,which I do a lot!
Fenella Wolgar is definitely one of the best narrators I’ve heard.
Normally I avoid women narrators as they are invariably a bit rubbish.
Being a woman I feel I can say that. She is utterly superb. I shall be looking out for her when choosing my next listen

Fantastic find!
I really enjoyed this, the narrator was excellent, very pleasant voice and well suited to the stories. Some of these are lesser known Christie stories and some are only indirectly related to the supernatural - but all are enjoyable.

Variable
Some of these were old stories well known through the the media of books, television or radio, some were completely new to me. Some were very good some were meh! Audible has not bothered to show the titles in the Chapters so there would be no way to find a specific one if you wanted to which is irritating.

Love Agatha but …
For some reason it wasn’t my favourite one. Not sure if that was because I heard some of the stories with different narratives or maybe that some of them were very easy to predict after first 10min. Still if you are just starting with Mrs C books they will be satisfying enough. My appetite is much bigger.
