Rating:  - Shrewd Christie device for peddling short stories
This is one of Christie's rather cunning vehicles for marketing very short Miss Marple mysteries, blending one episode into the next, essentially melding it into one tale. So, it's really not as good as her mysteries where it takes an entire book to unravel a bunch of clues in a single murder but it's still pretty good. Some of these stories also crop up elsewhere in other compendiums of Christie's work.

Rating: - All 13 stories
It looks like Amazon has taken the reviews of the audio casette set with the same name and put them on this product. There are 13 stories and not 5 as the cassette reviews state. They take up 6 CDs.

These are short stories and not novels so you should not ... Read More
Rating: - Some good some bad shorts
Christie has a way of peppering in intrigue, complications and duplicity, and supplying a common sense conclusion based on combining experience and appreciation of human nature and simplicity. "People are really much the same" is the catch phrase of this book they just opperate on different scales of vice and volume but the nature is the same and drawing conclusions from human nature the same whether in a small country town or a large city. Some of the endings were highly contrived.
Rating: - The first 5 of The Thirteen Problems
The short stories herein are the first 5 of the Marple collection _The Thirteen Problems_. See my reviews if you're interested in the whole collection, which was divided into 3 separate unabridged recordings narrated by Joan Hickson. Where stories have appeared elsewhere under different names, the title used in this recording (which is the original title) is listed first.
