It is usually Aidan who writes reviews of crime novels.
However, I was recently reading one of the early Agatha Christies, so I thought
I would share my thoughts on. The Thirteen Problems pitch together a collection
of short stories that Agatha Christie had written about a character named Jane
Marple in the latter half of the 1920s. In the collection, a dinner party tell
each other unsolved mysteries, usually involving a murder, while the rest of
the party try and work out who done it. To their bafflement, the unassuming
little old lady who sits in the corner works out each solution correctly. Even
those that baffled the greatest minds in the crime fighting industry.
