I only found out this was a short story collection after I finished The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding on page 50, as my copy made no indication the book was composed of anything other than one Christmas story, even on the blurb! So this was a slight disappointment for me. You can imagine my confusion when I got to page 50-something and the story had already wrapped up, only to turn the page and see a different story.

Ultimately, I had wanted to read a full novel in the same vein of Hercule Poirot's Christmas that I read a year prior, so I was left a little unsatisfied. I decided not to continue and read the other stories, so my rating is only a reflection on the titular story, which was fun but of course can't compare to a full length Christie mystery.
