    Synopsis

    In one of London's most elegant shops, a decorative doll in green velvet adopts some rather human, and sinister, traits....A country gentleman is questioned about a murder that has yet to be committed....In summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined possible....In a small country church, a dying man's last word, sanctuary, becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime. Only the Queen of Crime could have conceived such delicious treats for mystery lovers. Only the inimitable Herule Poirot and Miss Marple could solve them with such chilling perfection.

    Biography

    Agatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.

    some mysteries, some supernaturalby Cress

    July 20, 2009: A couple of the stories here are simply creepy and sinister tales, which disappointed me, as I had wanted all detective stories. The other stories do feature Poirot or Miss Marple, but the mysteries vary in quality. It's an okay read, but forgettable. This collection is notable for containing the story "The Double Clue," the first story in which Poirot meets his love interest, the Countess Vera Rossakoff. She also appears in the book "The Big Four" and in "The Labours of Hercules."
