Poirot Investigates
Poirot Investigates a host of murders most foul—as well as other dastardly crimes—in this intriguing collection of short stories from the one-and-only Agatha Christie.
First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond . . . then came the “suicide” that was murder . . . the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat . . .a suspicious death in a locked gun room . . . a million dollar bond robbery . . . the curse of a pharaoh’s tomb . . . a jewel robbery by the sea . . . the abduction of a prime minister . . . the disappearance of a banker . . . a phone call from a dying man . . .and, finally, the mystery of the missing will.
What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!
Murder in the Mews
?Agatha Christie’s classic Murder in the Mews presents four mystifying criminal conundrums that will seriously test the superior detecting skills of the unflappable Hercule Poirot.
How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secret military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And should the beautiful Valentine Chantry flee for her life from the holiday island of Rhodes?
Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases—each a miniature classic of characterization, incident, and suspense.

A super collection of four excellent murder mysteries by the queen of crime. The final one ,The Triangle at Rhodes had a most surprising ending.

I listened to this in audiobook. I enjoyed the variety of short stories. Some stories were a bit stronger than others but if you’re looking for a compilation of Christie mysteries, this is a good place to start. David Suchet and Hugh Fraser did much of the narration, one slight challenge was that Suchet accent at times was too strong . I am so used to seeing him portray the character on TV that I had to get used to listening to the narration.

Entertaining. As short stories the case and the characterizations of the novels are cut down and the solution is usually abrupt. Contains the story of Poirot’s only “failure.”

Mysteries abound
This is two not one collection of short stories. So you ate getting mysteries all the ways though both books. Very enjoyable.

Many fantastic stories
Each stories captures you and propels you to read it to the very end, and each with a simple twist to say to yourself- "I never saw that coming!"

Agatha Christie was a genius. Even the shortest of the stories are clever in the crime and solution.
