Muy mala traducción. Repleto de false friends y expresiones fabricadas nada naturales para un español. La próxima vez que intente leer a Agatha Christie será en inglés o con otra editorial.

He leído la primera historia, Intriga en Bagdad y me ha entretenido mucho. Capítulos cinematográficamente vívidos y una tripartida intriga asegurada.
