Just read Mrs. McGinty's Dead, but couldn't find a stand alone version (the only other versions were audiobooks/BBC dramatizations ... and I just read it, didn't listen). Enjoyable characters, and some very vivid settings -

So good. I'll be keeping an eye out for more Poirot.

Every story in this book had a unique twist, an unexpected end. Agatha Christie is the master of the red herring, and reading these stories was an education in how to write.

Real Rating: 2.5* of five

Thin gruel.

The Agatha Christie's Poirot filmed version isn't a lot better, though a lot prettier to look at; it resembles the book not at all.
