Почему не позвали Уилби ?..
В своих произведениях Агата Кристи не только увлеченно и талантливо разгадывает головоломную загадку, вызванную преступлением, но с большой точностью, нередко с тонким юмором передает национальный колорит Англии, специфические для этой страны живые человеческие характеры и социальные типы. В сборник вошли романы: "Убийство Роджера Экройда", "Почему не позвали Уилби?..", "В 4.50 из Паддингтона", а также повесть "Шестнадцать лет спустя".

Я люблю дэтэктывы, таму атрымала асалоду, чытаючы гэты зборнік. Тут творы з рознымі галоўнымі дэтэктывамі: і міс Марпл, і Эркюль Пуаро, і без іх. Цікава параўноўваць, як Агата Крысці выпісвае характары і падыходы да развязвання загадкі Марпл і Пуаро. І, канешне, дужа займальна высвятляць, ці супадае маё ўласнае меркаванне на конт таго, хто забойца, з сапраўдным, абдумваць матывы, якімі кіруюцца героі і вывучаць характары.
У гэтым зборніку ёсць творы, у канцы якіх дзіўна даведацца, хто ж злачынца. І ніколі не становіцца нудна чытаць, і хочацца хутчэй пачаць новы раман, каб зноў "пачасаць" мозг і разгадаць чарговую загадку.
