Fun, quick read. Time passage and weather descriptions seem incongruent with story timeline.

A powerful and insightful look at life in Harlem during the late 50’s early 60’s. A view of the big and small changes coming to the community.

This was an interesting story about families and secrets. I certainly didn't see the ending coming...at all.

Older book, but a good action impact mystery that kept me on my toes

Light hearted and short

Knew it won awards but couldn’t get into the style of writing. Was not very plot driven.

meh... still dont get the hype -- trying to figure tout

There are twelve stories by Christie in this collection which feature Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence and Parker Pyne. The criminals are of course very clever but their crimes are solved by Christie's more clever sleuths. There is an unusual autobiographical story included as an introduction.

This is a story about a man who desperately wants to be a writer and his friends and wife who support him. The various chapters are related by different characters: the writer, two of his friends and his wife. It is set in Spain and was translated from Spanish. The story is engaging and the reader is hoping for the success of the writer while becoming involved in the craft and challenges of writing.

I really enjoyed this book. So many twist and turns, just when you think you have it figured out or know the characters you are suddenly left in shock.
