5.0 out of 5 stars Lets hope the light lasts, 11 Jun 2005
This review is from: While the Light Lasts (Paperback)
I read this years ago, and recently found it again. It is a really dark book with typical Christy twists and turns in every plot. Even if you dont like the Poirot and Marple novels this collection of short stories will become a staple on your regular reads list. A real classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars a BRILLIANT collection of Christie short stories, 23 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: While the Light Lasts (Paperback)
A brilliant collection of short stories from the master of mystery and suspense. I couldn't put this down until I had read the whole lot. A wonderful treat for any Agatha Christie fan and a nice introduction to the author for a new comer.
