I understand that those were the prevailing attitudes of the time, and Christie was certainly writing to her intended audience. Overall the stories are well structured for such short crime snippets, revealing and resolving themselves in Christie’s signature dramatic style.Īs with all Christie’s novels the attitudes towards servants being best when they have no discernible personality, and the general sexism throughout, bother me. Sadly only one story in the collection of 6 is actually set at Christmas time, so this wasn’t as ‘Christmassy’ as I was hoping. A fun collection of crime mysteries solved by Hercule Poirot, with a bonus one solved by Miss Marple.

Now a professor at Yale Law School, Forman has Washington in his sights. “The words and deeds of … black law enforcement officials and politicians,” Forman writes, “so often overlooked in the histories of the war on drugs, are crucial to explaining why and how the war developed as it did in American cities.” For the most part, such leaders did so with the broad support of constituents seeking safety from the urban crises that colored the second half of the 20th century.
