'And Then There Were None' and 'The Mousetrap' were fantabulous plays. I think Christie could've worked better on 'Appointment With Death' and 'The Hollow'. Overall, it makes for a good read.

As with every Agatha Christie book I've read so far, my guess as to the culprit was incorrect. In two of the plays I thought I had it right, only to realize a few pages later who it really was. Each play was interesting and had its own well done twists

It was a joy seeing this performed in London. I longed to revisit that memory and enjoyed a Saturday afternoon reading the masterpiece Mousetrap.

Decided I only wanted to read And Then There Were None and The Mousetrap.

This is the first Agatha Christie I have read and I enjoyed it immensely. Good, classic whodunits with a delightful humor. These short stories/ plays feature Ms Marple and Hercules Poirot so I feel like I got a good introduction to her work.

Absolutely great! No wonder these plays are still famous. i especially loved the Mouse trap and the Hollow.
These are a collection of plays that are unique, yet have that graceful touch of Agatha Christie. The least dialogue has an importance and triggers the unravelling of a stupendous plot.
