Daniel’s Reviews > Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories > Status Update

Page 564 is the last page of 'Triangle at Rhodes'.

I also read 'Poirot and the Regatta Mystery', which is the next story in order of publication, but due to eccentric editorial decisions is included as a 'Postscript' near the end of this book (pages 865 - 878).

Pausing again, in my read of the complete Poirot. I don't approve of the approach this editor has taken, of replacing stories with their much-later rewrites. It especially stands out, in stories from 1923, when the children go off to play with their tape recorders, and Poirot mentions television. On the other hand, the 1961 version of 'Christmas Pudding' was refreshingly brilliant. Chef's kiss indeed.

"The sixth Viscount Cronshaw was a man of about fifty, suave in manner, with a handsome, dissolute face. Evidently an elderly roué, with the languid manner of a poseur."

Fifty "elderly"! Hastings is such a boy :)
