Creo que no he logrado conectar mucho con las historias de Agatha, sin embargo le tengo aprecio a poirot y me gusta contrastarlo con el ingenioso sherlock. Esta recopilación estuvo bastante entretenida, interesante y ligera.
Audiolibro muy entretenido. Amé la historia de A. Christie y la de A. Conan Doyle. Me dieron más ganas de leer novelas policiales, con los detectives Poirot y S. Holmes.
Este audiolibro lo encontré en storytel y como eran historias cortas de mis autores de detectives favoritos. Y la verdad es que es muy interesante como en historias cortas te pueden hacer sentir el mismo misterio y ganas de saber la verdad.
My fave was Agatha’s story, then Chesterton’s and las Conan Doyle’s. But still all of them were great. There’s something about these stories that captivate me every time. 3,5✨
Tres relatos, tres célebres detectives, tres grandes autores. No sé si son sus mejores cuentos, me falta leerlos más. El que me gustó fue el de Arthur Conan Doyle. Y es que al hábil e ingenioso Sherlock Holmes, el mejor detective de todos los tiempos, no se le escapa nada.
Triángulo en Rodas, de Agatha Christie / El oráculo del perro, de Gilbert Chesterton / La aventura de los lentes de oro, de Arthur Conan Doyle.
