The Affair at the Bungalow
Author: Agatha Christie
The Affair at the Bungalow is the 12th story of 13 tales told by the Tuesday Night Club. Half of the stories were told by the group at their Tuesday night meetings and the rest related around the table at a dinner party. Each member of the group relates a strange or mysterious occurance, and the rest of the group has to guess the truth behind the matter.
The stories are short, quick mysteries. Nothing fancy or elaborate. Christie published these stories in magazines in 1930, and then they were collected in one volume, The 13 Problems, in 1932.
The Affair at the Bungalow is the final story told by the group at the dinner party. This time, the tale is told by the actress in the group. She relates a story about a playwright, a jewelry robbery, and mistaken identity. This story had a little bit of a different twist to it. Fun! Very entertaining!
I read the story in my copy of Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories while listening to an audio version with Joan Hickson narrating. Hickson played the elderly sleuth in the Miss Marple television series. She does such a great job reading the short stories! Hearing her voice again makes me want to rewatch the series!
Only one more Tuesday Night Club story to go! The final story is called: Death by Drowning. Can't wait!
