18. The Hound of Death (1933)

Dear Agatha,

I have to admit, this wasn't my favorite.  I almost feel disloyal saying that, but I guess I just am not into the paranormal stuff anymore.

The Hound of Death - nay
The Red Signal - okay
The Fourth Man - okay
The Gipsy - nay
The Lamp - nay
Wireless - yay
The Witness for the Prosecution - yay - and this redeems the whole work
The Mystery of the Blue Jar - yay
The Strange Case of Sir Arthur Carmichael - nay
The Call of Wings - definite nay
The Last Seance - nay
SOS - yay - this also makes the book worth reading

Yes, I think I am much more delighted in your traditional detective works.  The supernatural - I don't know; once it appealed to me but not much anymore.  I think because I myself have a closer walk with Jesus these days, it's just not as appealing as it used to be.  

But the cover is beautiful. :)

Still worth the time, but looking forward to the next one, which is Murder on the Orient Express!  We just spoke about reading it at our book club as a new movie has been done of it starring Johnny Depp. I'm looking forward to seeing how the adaptation turns out.
