I have read many, many Agatha Christie books over the years, and was delighted to be able to download these two which I had not read before. Both were typical Agatha Christie classics. I have found that people either like or they hate these novels. I am part of the former group. I enjoy the strong sense of British society at that time it conveys (with so many of the values and prejudices of the upper class so amusing by today's tastes). Agatha Christie is a master (or should I say mistress) of subtle clues, clever red herrings and taking the reader by surprise when the true murderer is exposed. These books are not challenging or complex, but are the type of books just perfect for reading by the fire on a cold winter's night or when curled up in bed late at night.
