"The Regatta Mystery and Other Stories by Agatha Christie (Poirot #21) 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
I didn't care for any of these main mysteries, which was odd.
The Poirot's felt mostly already done, too similar to his bigger novels or just a byproduct.
Miss Marple was an afterthought, 'Oh by the way did you know I did this...' but I liked her bemoaning the loss of common sense in most people.
Parker Pyne was annoying, no real mystery.
The only one I found interesting was In A Darkly Glass centered around a murdering vision kinda paranormal in nature, but I think it was the narrator's boon keeping my interest the most."
