Title: The Harlequin Tea Set
Author: Agatha Christie
Genre: Mystery Short Stories
Pages: 214
Rating (out of 5 stars) : *
Reviewed by: Ben
Description: A collection of short stories by Agatha Christie. Most are mysteries, some just weird stories.
Thoughts: I try to save extreme ratings for exceptional books (good or bad), so you may be surprised I gave an Agatha Christie only one star. This was one of the few books I've begun and never finished. Most of the stories are psychotic suicides rather than your classic Agatha Christie. I really didn't enjoy any of them--they were just too gruesome, depressing, and weird. If you want to read Christie, pick a different book (And Then There Were None is highly recommended).
Disclaimer: A little grisly at times, nothing more.
