After reading And Then There Were None, I wanted to read some more Agatha Christie and then I just happened upon The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories in the quarter bin at a library used book sale. I was curious to see how her short stories would compare to her novels. The first story, The Witness for the Prosecution was really good and had a nice twist ending that was memorable. Now I'll have to re-watch the movie to compare it... But then after that the other stories weren't quite as good. I enjoyed them all but they didn't really stand out as anything special. Maybe I expected a bit more cleverness out of them. As a whole, I give the collection a B+.
