Agatha Christie's world is unlike any other; it's a realm where mysteries intertwine with the human psyche, and innocence with the danger lurking in the smallest details. In this rare collection of short stories, we discover multiple facets of mystery, from hidden crimes and buried secrets to poignant moments of wonder and nostalgia.

In "Accident," chance meets fate in a scene that alters an entire destiny, while "The Song of Hidden Pockets" reveals a mysterious melody heard only by those on the brink of danger. In "The Hound of Death," myth and reality blend in a struggle between reason and terror, and "The Magnolia" exudes a longing for what can never be retrieved.

"The Companion" leads us into the threads of a crime woven in silence, and "The Sewing Doll" unveils a dark face behind the features of childhood. "The Lamp" illuminates a path to truth amidst the shadows of deception, and "The Blue Geranium Needle" sows the poison of doubt in every seemingly innocent detail. Every story here bears Christie's unmistakable mark: elegant suspense, a tightly woven plot, and seemingly innocent, ordinary characters... until the truth is revealed. It's a short journey into the labyrinth of the psyche and mind, where no one is as they seem, and no secret lasts forever.
