Eighteen cases from before Hercule Poirot became a household name are collected here, recorded as usual by Captain Hastings.
The stories date from the years when the Belgian detective was still building his professional reputation, and they range from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder. Short form suits Poirot well: one peculiar detail, a room full of people with reasons to lie, and a solution delivered with evident satisfaction. Hastings narrates a step behind, which keeps a reader at exactly the same disadvantage he is.
What this collection gathers:
• Eighteen short cases from Poirot's formative professional years
• Narration by Captain Hastings in his familiar role as chronicler
• Crimes ranging across theft, robbery, kidnapping and murder
• Self-contained puzzles that can be taken one at a time
For Agatha Christie readers, newcomers to Poirot and anyone who prefers detection in short form. Available at Boipoka.
