Reviews

[Renata Dingemanse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Aparte korte verhalen. Vooral Quin en Satterthwaite zijn interessant.

For my first Agatha Christie reading experience, I thought a collection of short stories would be a good start but it was quite disappointing. Often I wondered if the stories would hurry up. For me they were a very slow pace which took me very long to read. Now I wonder if other books might be more interesting than the short stories. Definitely worth a try according to me.

Heerlijk ouderwets, maar vooral de verhalen van meneer Quin intrigeren me. Heel apart.
