All of Agatha: The Hound of Death
Nov. 21st, 2021 11:40 amThe Hound of Death [1933] is a collection of short stories. Most of them have been reprinted in 2019 in a collection called The Last Seance and Other Stories. Almost all of the stories has an element of the supernatural. No detective stories, per se, though mystery elements abound, too.
But the jewel in the crown is "The Witness for the Prosecution," which may be one of my favourite stories ever. I watched the 1957 film with Tyrone Power and Marlene Dietrich. And I couldn't get the idea of one of the BTS lads [Jin--the oldest] as the femme fatale in the story, so I wrote 20k in a week (like you do).
