3.5. This was always a creepy short story to me. Most of Agatha Christie's shorts aren't very good, but this one has always made me shiver happily when I read it because it's just really good, the atmosphere is creepy, the murder is creepy, the time, place, whatever. It's all creepy. I gave it four stars because it's better than most of hers, but it's not GREAT. It's about 3.5 stars.

In this short story Agatha Christie seems to match the story telling to the character telling the story. So while The Tuesday Night Club was succinct and straight to the point. The Idol House was a mixture of irrelevant and mystical representing the Vicar telling the story. Not my faverious but I still liked it.
