Book Reviews of Three Blind Mice (St. Martin's Minotaur Mysteries)
Book Review: A Thoroughly Delightful and Unique Short Story Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
"Three Blind Mice and Other Stories," by the absolutely outstanding "Queen of Crime" Agatha Christie, is an absolute gem of a book! All of the nine stories in this collection shed light on Christie's gift of creating unforgettable characters and spine-tinglingly suspenseful plots. I particularly enjoyed reading "Three Blind Mice," (the novella of the collection) because I had recently seen a high school production of "The Mousetrap," the play that Christie wrote after the novella was so successful. I enjoyed comparing the two, because both verstions, though similar have many differences. This novella does not feature any of Christie's series detectives, (Hercule Poirot, or Jane Marple,) but is is outstandingly brilliant in introducing characters that will stay with you long after the book is completed. I'll say one thing, I'll never look at the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice" the same way again! Readers are treated to four delightful stories featuring Miss. Marple, ("Tape Measure Murder," "The Case of the Perfect Maid," "The Case of the Caretaker," and "Strange Jest.") The are treated to three stories featuring Hercule Poirot, "The Third Floor Flat," The Adventure of Johnny Waverley," and (my personal favorite,) "Four and Twenty Blackbirds," in which Poirot examines the eating habits of a certain individual in order to solve a murder. There is also a special treat of a story featuring Mr. Harley Quin called "The Love Detectives." All in all, a wonderful feast of humor, mystery, and suspense, which I'm sure will be enjoyed by people for many years to come. Happy reading to you all, and take care!!
