AGATHA CHRISTIE Premium Collection
by Agatha Christie
Kindle $0.49 Rating: 4.6 #ad
“I was enthralled throughout the entire Collection! Now, I should warn that some of the language (particularly regarding ethnic and religious minorities) is offensive; thankfully, the main characters only utter a few. As a member of a number of minority groups, the language threw me for a bit; I would daresay that Christie, had she been a contemporary author, would not have utilized (or, for that matter, not needed to utilize) these racial and religious epithets. I, notwithstanding, thoroughly enjoyed this collection — particularly the stories which I’d never read!” by Amazon Customer
