Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had read any of the Westmacott romances and if they were worth reading?

It's best to read the stories is the Osborne order to get the full effect of them.

Thank you for that. I'll look them up in the library today.

Of the six, Unfinished Portrait, Absent in the Spring, and The Rose and the Yew Tree are really good.  Giant's Bread, The Burden, and A Daughter's A Daughter are less compelling but still definitely worth reading for Christie fans.
