Publisher's summary

Instant New York Times best seller!

"Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.” (Tana French, New York Times best-selling author of the Dublin Murder Squad novels)

An all-new collection of winter-themed stories from the Queen of Mystery, just in time for the holidays - including the original version of “Christmas Adventure”, never before released in the United States!

There’s a chill in the air, and the days are growing shorter.... It’s the perfect time to curl up in front of a crackling fire with these wintry whodunits from the legendary Agatha Christie. But beware of deadly snowdrifts and dangerous gifts, poisoned meals and mysterious guests. This chilling compendium of short stories - some featuring beloved detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple - is an essential omnibus for Christie fans and the perfect holiday gift for mystery lovers.

“Agatha Christie [is] the maestro of murder tales.” (People)

A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Like any anthology, the stories are of inconsistent quality, but most of them are pretty good to great. Plus I discovered a lot of other lesser known characters Christie created that I wasn’t aware of. Some of the performances were a little cringe, particularly when the British lady tries to do other accents. Still A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Very Enjoyable Short Stories

The narration is very good and most of the stories are intriguing. The Parker Pyne short was annoying. Fortunately the enjoyment of the other stories far outweighed that bit of regret.

Death takes a holiday

A great series of short stories by Agatha Christie. Starting with Three Bind Mice, witch Agatha Christie’s play the Mousetrap the longest running play is based on. We also have Christie’s famous detectives Poirot, Miss Marple, and Tommy and Tuppence also solving mysteries in this audiobook. We also have tales with Christie’s lesser known detectives. The Mysterious Mr Quinn, who may or may not have supernatural powers. We also have Parker Pyne, a professional wish fulfiller/love expert/ and part time detective. We also get a few Christmas and New year mysteries to. A nice audiobook

Okay

This compilation only includes 3-4 short stories not on other compilations, so I'm not sure it was worth the buy.

Excellent Narration, Great Stories

This collection of stories is fantastic, and the narration is perfect. I wish this narrator could record every audibook that I listen to. Her voice and cadence are pleasant and she does a good job of distinguishing characters with voice and accent changes. Unlike a lot of narrators, she is capable of voicing characters of the opposite sex without sounding creepy or irritating. Probably the best narrator I have ever heard.

Did not like the narrator.

Fenella’s reading ruined it for me. :( Specially when she "was" Poirot. But the stories are as expected, read them many a time and will read them many more hehe :)
