reading (Hercule Poirot's Casebook)

[eor]

I finished the last story in "Hercule Poirot's Casebook" on Thursday. The book is a sizable collection and as a result it's taken me a while to finish. The stories are collected from 7 different books, comprising 51 stories ranging from short to novelette. In only one case was one of the stories an obvious rewrite of a previous story. There are a few of the stories where things are described in such a way that the reader cannot have as much information as the detective and must make a greater leap of deduction/assumption than Poirot to solve the case before the reveal. However, in most of them I was able to focus on the right clues and the right suspects. So that means I'm either getting better at mysteries, or these are fairly easy ones.

The length and the content are good for reading one an evening by the fire in some nice English cottage.
