      I hadn't read any of Christie's work previously so I thought it was high time I rectified this. As a big fan of horror and the eerie I thought this volume of creepy short stories might be a good place to start. Overall it was just an OK read for me. Many of the stories were a bit boring and I often didn't get the point they were trying to make. I did enjoy "The Dressmaker's Doll" and "The Lamp" but the others left me feeling unimpressed.

      The narrator was excellent. She was really good at voicing everyone from Miss Marple to Poirot.
    • 5/5
      Always a great book. Can't wait for another adventure from Agatha Christie
    • 3/5
      Not for all but entertaining with humor to be taken seriously.
    • 3/5
      I really wanted to like this because, really, it's Agatha Christie, but I just thought it was okay.
    • 4/5
      Agatha Christie is, for good reason, known as the Queen of Crime. However, it is less well known that she was interested in the paranormal. The Last Seance gathers together several of her paranormal tales guaranteed to give shivers to any reader. Like in any collection, I liked some stories better than others. One of my favourites is the titular tale in which a seance goes horribly wrong. But perhaps my favourite tale is The Dressmaker’s Doll. I mean, dolls are creepy on their own but Christie takes it to a whole ‘nother level of nightmare. Overall, a great collection, perfect for Halloween but I wouldn’t recommend reading it alone especially in the dark.Thanks to Edelweiss+ and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review
    • 3/5
      What is supposed to be a collection of Christie’s “tales of the supernatural” disappointingly turns out to be not what it promises. Despite a couple of outstanding creepy stories very few have any supernatural element, and too many feel like snippets of story ideas dusted off and given a quick ending for delivery to some magazine or other. I didn’t feel that Christie really cared for, or was invested in, any of the tales she’s telling here.
