Book Reviews of The Harlequin Tea Set and Other Stories (Hercule Poirot)
Book Review: New Christie stories never published in U.S.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a special collection of short stories by the great Agatha
Christie, written during her early years. The stories were predominantly
sold to the British pulp magazines and have been "forgotten" about for over a
half of century because they were overwhelmed by Ms. Christie's later work.
The tales range from pure mysteries to gothics and romantic suspense,
demonstrating the vast range and depth of one of the great legends of English
literature.
..... Eight of the nine tales have not been published in the United States,
while the ninth, "The Mystery of the Spanish Chest" was released in 1939.
For fans of Ms. Christie this is a great book that must read. Some of her
more famous detectives, Hercule Poirot and Harley Quin appear as well as some
of her lesser known sleuths. This reviewer's personal favorite is "The Edge"
in which Clare Halliwell has to decide between her secret love for Sir Gerald
Lee, a married man, and the incriminating evidence that proves his wife is
cuckolding him. All the stories are actually fun to read for Ms. Christie's
fans and anyone who enjoys a short story mystery collection.
