This is Agatha Christie Signature Edition.

This is actually a collection of mysterious short stories from Agatha Christie. There are 9 stories in it, including 3 bonus stories, as follows...


Sanctuary
Strange Jest
Tape-Measure Murder
The Case of the Caretaker
The Case of the Perfect Maid
Miss Marple Tells a Story
The Dressmaker's Doll (bonus)
In A Glass Darkly (bonus)
Greenshaw's Folly (bonus)

Jane Marple is the 'detective' or shall I say, the master key of hints in all cases except in The Dressmaker's Doll and In A Glass Darkly, doing her wonders in the most natural way. The two aforementioned stories are rather a Hitchcock-ly kind of thriller, not that I want to compare between Christie's and Hitchcock's, but just to say that it fits the genre. All stories are brilliant, and similarly as I sad before....never believe the obvious because it may not be the real thing.

Always a thrilling read.
