A nice collection - tons of overlap with The Last Seance, but read for the final story as part of my Piorot reading.

Includes the best Christie short story (in my opinion) Philomel Cottage.

Saw the play version at London Courthouse on 11/23/21

Actresses are not to be trusted and lawyers are cool

This is a really excellent collection of stories. Usually there are a few stories which I don’t enjoy very much in these collections but each one of these was fascinating. I especially enjoyed The Fourth Man, SOS, and Wireless.

I definitely didn’t need to get to this quickly for my Poirot read-through as he is only in the last short story, but goddamn this collection slaps.
