The hound of death and other stories - Agatha Christie

Here is Agatha Christie in a different mood.

Her first story, THE HOUND OF DEATH, is fair warning that she intends to make you shiver and think!

Each of the twelve stories underlines the remarkable versatility of this very remarkable writer. Some, like THE RED SIGNAL and THE FOURTH MAN, may make you shift uneasily in your chair. Others, like the ironic WIRELESS, will give you grim satisfaction.

Tucked away in the middle, like a bonus, is a story which is clearly the origin of her world-wide stage and screen success, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.
