Autumn Chills

A cosy little collection of mysteries from the Queen of Crime, Autumn Chills delivers a handful of short stories filled with intrigue, secrets and that classic Christie charm. The stories are interesting enough, and there's a nice bit of suspense sprinkled throughout, but I can't say they completely held my attention.

Some plots feel dated, and a few attitudes definitely don't sit well with modern readers. It's a reminder that Christie was writing for a very different time. It's fascinating from a historical point of view, but occasionally jarring when read today. Still, if you're in the mood for something vintage and atmospheric (and don't mind a few old-fashioned edges), this collection makes for an easy autumnal read.
