Short Stories

KerrieS at MYSTERIES in PARADISE presents

• ACRC: The Short Stories saying, "If you are thinking of reading the short stories, here is a list of titles to look for."

• PROBLEM AT POLLENSA BAY and other stories, Agatha Christie saying, "A collection of 8 short stories published in 1991. Three of these stories are the result of Agatha Christie exploring the theme of romance, and really must have been a disappointment to her growing audience of crime fiction readers. Two of them feature Hercule Poirot, two Mr. Satterthwaite and Mr. Harley Quin, and two Mr Parker Pyne."

• POIROT INVESTIGATES, Agatha Christie saying, "11 short stories published in 1924 that all featured Hercule Poirot."

• ACRC: Short Stories, Update #2 saying, "My progress in the short stories."
