Sinossi
«Questo libro è come un pranzo di Natale preparato da un vero chef. E lo chef sono io!» Così Agatha Christie presenta la sua raccolta in sei gustosissime portate: dall'antipasto al dessert, cinque indagini dell'inossidabile Poirot, alle prese con rubini scomparsi, omicidi simulati o reali, inquietanti sogni premonitori, un cadavere ritrovato in una cassapanca, una coppia di sposi particolarmente litigiosa, un anziano signore dalle abitudini alimentari troppo prevedibili. E in più, come il cioccolatino dopo il caffè, un racconto con protagonista Miss Marple.

He wants heaters. And who can blame him for that? Not me. Bing Crosby can keep his White Christmas. I hate cold weathe Leggi tutto
The home stretch of my Poirot run! #33, and the story, “The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding” (a.k.a. The Theft of the Royal Ruby) is a light-hearted family tale set at Christmas-time, which I'll admit is not the kind of story I would typically go out of my way to read. Oh, it features a murder, o Leggi tutto

In the longish short story The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding , Agatha Christie has given us a little Christmas treat. No only is this whodunnit entertaining, but it is easy to solve! For readers who (like me) enjoy detective stories, but are carried along by every red herring, and never guess th Leggi tutto
