When you have Richard Armitage reading Agatha Christie, what's not to like. I love these short stories, first published in the 1920s. (Free in the Audible Plus catalog.)

A rather average collection of stories, that while enjoyable are also largely forgettable. Still, it is Christie so it is worth your time.

This is a collection of short stories. Because of the short length of the stories, there wasn’t much suspense or build-up in the stories which was kind of a disappointment. Hercule Poirot fans can skip this one without missing out on anything.
