About this book
This collection gathers eleven early cases for Hercule Poirot, the fastidious Belgian detective who trusts his 'little grey cells' over footprints and fingerprints. Narrated by his loyal friend Captain Hastings, the stories send Poirot after stolen jewels, a vanished will, a suspicious death, a kidnapped prime minister, and an Egyptian tomb rumored to carry a curse. Each puzzle is compact and self-contained, built around a single clever deception that Poirot unpicks through patient observation and logic rather than action. The book helped fix the detective's habits and mannerisms in readers' minds during the years just after his debut. It makes a fine introduction to Christie's method and to short-form detection.
