Agatha Christie

Hercule Poirot tries desperately to save a kidnapped child, Miss Jane Marple goes beyond the grave to protect a dead man's heirs from disaster, and Mr. Harley Quin tracks down a cunning killer.

Three Blind Mice and Other Stories

Ablinding snowstorm—and a homicidal maniac—traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best, proving her reputation as "the champion deceiver of our time" (New York Times).

There’s something adorable about Christie, despite all the murder.

A classic! This is the story Mousetrap (the play) is based on, so beware of that if you ever want to see the play without being spoiled. Love it.

Brianna Grimm

5/5: This was such a lovely collection of Agatha Christie's stories. I loved reading about Miss Marple and Hercules Poirot. But also meeting the elusive Harley Quin that was Agatha Christie's favorite character. Her mysteries never fail to make you question what you think you know. I will always recommend her stories and books to anyone looking for a timeless, classic mystery.
