A haunting collection of short stories that should be read for atmosphere and romance rather than mystery. Mr. Satterthwaite is an excellent character, and Mr. Quin is perfectly remote and beguiling. Christie builds wonderful depth into the scenarios with very few words and leaves the reader feeling the sort of queer ache that the best faery stories evoke. This collection is unique in her canon, and it must be taken on its own terms, but it is superb.
