Reviews for Midwinter Murder

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Midwinter Murder is a holiday themed collection of previously published Agatha Christie short stories.
This collection has a little bit of everything and I absolutely loved it. There were Poirot, Tommy & Tuppence, and Marple stories I had read before plus a couple stand alone and Mr. Quinn stories that I wasn't familiar with.
I hadn't read anything about Quinn before, he is definitely a different type of character. Almost guardian angel like.
If a read wants to revisit Agatha Christie or a new reader wants a good introduction, this is a great collection. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great narrator. Listened to this whole diamond painting and I really enjoyed the different stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thoroughly enjoyed it. The stories are fantastic and the narration was really impressive
