Super stories.

I'm a big Agatha Christie fan and these stories are just great. Each one has its own special twist. Years ago I remember my dad sending me a video tape he had made of "The Witness for the Prosecution" starring Diana Rigg. I was instantly hooked on Agatha Christie.
Christopher Lee does Agatha Christie!

Christopher Lee masterfully spins a classic Christie tale! Lee always delivers a superb performance and I recommend all of his audio books!
Satisfying Short Sagas of Surprise and Suspense

Anyone familiar with the 1957 Billy Wilder film "Witness for the Prosecution" knows the plot of the title story. The short story, however, is told from an entirely different vantage point. The change in focus doesn't rob the story of any of its sting, and the product is every bit as entertaining as the excellent movie.Christie tells the remaining stories in a taut, fast-paced, and satisfying manner, and more than once brings the story to a quite unexpected climax.

Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de esta historia es que sabe mantener el suspense. No le encuentro fallos,he leido el libro como actividad escolar, tengo doce años.
IMPRESSIVE

This is the best of Christie's short stories. They are ingenious works with quick and instant gratification, sometimes the best for those who can't wait. Of course there are a couple of bummers, but if you need short stories these are the best you can get. Philomel Cottage is one I would recommend leaving the lights on for. That thing haunted me for days to come!
