Not what I was expecting as my copy has an older cover that does not show that the stories are not one connected piece but separate. Still a great read and it was mainly short stories so if one does not want a chapter book this would be perfect for them.

Not a fan of short stories really, or Poirot. But there is more than just Poirot in this book. I ended up enjoying a few of the stories.

Short stories can be good when you have been reading novels/novellas and these are decent. The two "supernatural" stories do not really make the impression I think they meant to, especially the seance one which you could see the ending coming a mile away. Also, I think since they are shorter, it is easier to guess the outcomes for all of them.

Double Sin is another collection of short stories from Agatha Christie. Her collection of short stories are always a mixed bag but I surprisingly enjoyed majority of the stories in this one, probably because it also had supernatural stories mixed in with the usual Poirot and Miss Marple ones.
