Several chapters into the first novella, "Poison à la Carte" and trying to figure out the riddle of who served the poisoned bilni sounds like an indie tabletop game.

"Method Three" is a fantastic showcase for Archie and Wolfe's relationship.

Onto "Method Three for Murder." Poirot fans know dude can't take a vacation in peace, but this story opens with Archie unable to quit Wolfe's employ in peace.

I definitely appreciate the inclusion of female hackies, or cab drivers. The only other media depiction that regularly comes to mind is in the film version of "The Big Sleep" (Dir. Howard Hawks, 1946).

"Poison á la Carte" makes a production out of what turns out to be a pretty standard premise. Wolfe's quip that dining is an art, not a science is perfect for the character.

Deborah Stoiber I have the first book in this series on my shelf. Haven’t read it yet, but it’s on the list!


Rachel Back in 2000 or so, I got hooked on the A&E adaptation and it made me a lifelong fan of the series. I still haven't read them all, but they can be read out of order, similar to the Poirot books, so I jump around.
