3.0

These six novels are a bit uneven in terms of quality. None of them is as thrilling as her mysteries, and some of them are downright dull (Giant's Bread and Absent in the Spring in particular). They tend to focus on a mixture of romance and the daily trials of being a woman in twentieth-century Britain, and they emphasize (very SLOW) character development over plot.

They're certainly a must-read for Agatha Christie fanatics like myself--I've now read everything Christie has published, including a few plays that are difficult to get a hold of--but they're certainly not a fun read.
