Midwinter Murder: Fireside Tales from the Queen of Mystery
Ratings23
Average rating4
Midwinter Murder is the perfect anthology of stories by Agatha Christie for the run up to the Winter Solstice. One can perfectly picture the characters as they sit around roaring fires, or sit down to demolish a Christmas feast.
All of Christie's beloved characters are here; Hercule Poirot and his sidekick Hastings, Tommy and Tuppence, Miss Marple, Mr. Sattertwaithe and the enigmatic Mr. Quin, and Parker Pine.
I was going to treat this as an advent calendar, reading one story a day, but I gave up on that idea after the first story because I enjoyed it so much.
All in all this is the perfect book for lovers of cosy mysteries and reading by the fireside.

It would have been a great idea to read this before the holidays, but oh, well, at least I did get some snow to put me in the holiday spirit.
I especially liked the first story, and slowly lost interest along the way, but I still enjoyed it, it's just that I wasn't in the mood for such a lenghthy audiobook at this time. Still, I really liked it and completed it.
I really have to say that the narrator, Fenella Woolgar, was amazing, loved the way she accurately narrated each character, it was delightful.
