A review by cimorene1558
The Rose and the Yew Tree by Mary Westmacott, Agatha Christie

4.0

Two people who should probably never have met do meet and fall in love (but definitely not like) and make each other miserable. Sounds like a terrible story, but actually isn't, mainly because the people involved aren't that simple. Agatha Christie really could write (people who say she couldn't are dorks or haven't read anything she wrote), and some of her Mary Westmacott books are the best proof of that, because they're stripped of the Poirot foibles and so on. Don't get me wrong, I adore the Poirot foibles, but they do get in the way of people who wish to judge the divine Agatha!
