Poirot Investigates, Agatha Christie
What could be a cozier companion than a wonderful collection of short murder mysteries featuring Hercule Poirot? In this engaging collection of 14 stories, we journey with the eccentric detective from the coast of England to a pharaoh's tomb in exotic Egypt.
Published in 1924, Poirot Investigates includes some of the best adventures of the Belgian sleuth including: The Adventure of the Western Star; The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor; The Adventure of the Cheap Flat; The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge; The Million Dollar Bond Robbery; The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb; The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan; The Kidnapped Prime Minister; The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim; and The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman.
This book was Agatha Christie's first collection of stories and is a wonderful first introduction to anyone who longs to read mysteries filled with pretzel-like twists and turns but with little of the gore and guts found in contemporary mysteries. It would be a welcome and much-appreciated book for young readers, as well.
