Along with the other stories is a Christie's original The Case of the Discontented Soldier. Major Wilbraham finds England too tame. He has answered Parker Pyne's advertisement in hopes of drumming up some excitement, and he does. I have to say Robert Barnard's story is one of my absolute favorites. Nothing to Lose is about a complaining elderly woman who moves into a nursing home and stirs up trouble - loved the ending! Another I favored was Kate Charles story, Murder at the Vicarage, about a vicar and too many spinsters. Ms. Charles character is a mystery writer named Ms. St. James - a "monopoly" play on words maybe? You don't want to miss Gween Moffatt's The Dark Tower, which offers a brief mystery with her spinster sleuth Miss Pink. Honestly there were a couple of the stories that couldn't keep my attention, but that's ok, it only means they were meant for someone else. Did I feel that the authors captured Christie's work? Yes, I do, and what's more, their individual talents added to this pleasant read.
Don't miss out on this one. It's a wonderful anthology written by Christie fans, for Christie fans. This one goes on the keeper shelf with my other eight Malice Domestic anthologies.
