christellereadsalot's review against another edition
4.0
This great collection of short stories has carefully crafted and ingenious plots, just as in the author's books. They show once again the amazing writing talent and imagination of Agatha Christie.
In The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, all but one story involve Hercule Poirot and his power of observation and knowledge of human nature. The other story has a very ingenious Ms Marple.
A very enjoyable read.

Yet to read a bad Poirot tale, another collection of great cases from the Belgian investigator.

In spite of the title, not an especially seasonal collection.

I only read the title short story and not the whole set.
It was cozy and in true Poirot style.
Enjoyable read for the holiday season. I really liked how Agatha Christie based the setting and atmosphere of the story on her Christmas experience as a child (minus the crime, of course).

Not a bad mystery, I guess. I listened to the BBC dramatization and I was constantly asking myself if it was Christie or adaptation. Especially the end result.
