Hercule Poirot: complete short stories. Agatha Christie. 2008.

Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective with the egg-shaped head and immaculate black moustache, has a passion for order, rational thought, and an overwhelming confidence in his deductive genius. He is after all, the most famous detective in the world!

There is a spectacular diversity in the plots and themes of these cases. Violent murders, poisonings kidnapping and thefts, all are solved or thwarted with Poirot’s usual panache -and the characteristic application of his ‘little grey cells.’
