Agatha Christie. The Harlequin Tea Set (1997)

     Agatha Christie. The Harlequin Tea Set (1997) Some uncollected stories, most of them written early in her career, obviously pot boilers, and done according to the conventions of the period. The only successful story is a late one about Mr Sattersthwaite and Mr Quin. Of interest to Christie fans only. * to *** (2005)
