Book Review of The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories

The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


Eleven more quickies in this one written between 1924 and 1948 (The Witness for the Prosecution, The Red Signal, The Fourth Man, S.O.S., Where Theres a Will, The mystery of the Blue Jar, Sing a Song of Sixpence, The Mystery of the Spanish Shawl, Philomel Cottage, Accident, and The Second Gong). For a refreshing change we are not bothered with Poirot, Miss Marple, or even Parker Pyne. Whew! Did I speak too soon? The last story is a Poirot. Anyway some are interesting with an unexpected finale; others are downright boring. Typical easy reading for an afternoon or evening.
