A Deadly Affair



 Shirley J.                           Adult Fiction                           Murder mysteriously wrapped in love stories

A Deadly Affair: Unexpected Love Stories from the Queen of Mystery by Agatha Christie   272 pages

The game is always afoot in Dame Agatha's stories but even more so in these short stories that are true gems.   I can't get enough of them each is excellent and the whole host of Dame Agatha's sleuths are hear at the ready to solve the murders.   There are stories featuring Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Tuppence and Tommy, Harley Quin and Parker Pyne.   I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them.  If you have not been introduced to Agatha Christie's excellence this would be a great book to start.  Each story is so well thought out and the clues are all there but it is amazing how the mysteries all come together.   I recommend these stories to adults, just because I think adults will appreciate them for their nostalgic whimsy and non-technological attributes.
