Review of 'The Hound of Death (Agatha Christie Collection)' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

A collection of stories leaning more towards the supernatural than ordinary crimes and mysteries. I liked a few, but overall the collection wasn't as good as I expected. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was the best part - Sir Christopher Lee.

"Wireless" was perhaps closest to a standard Agatha Christie mystery, and the most enjoyable. Of the more supernatural fare, I enjoyed "The Fourth Man". My least favorite was "The Last Seance", which lacked even an ending.
