Reviews

"Hercule Poirot was and is the gold standard among brilliant and quirky detectives, and the Christie touch with plot and puzzle has never been equaled, much less exceeded." -- John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author"A finely shaped book, richly devious and quite brilliant--by far the best volume of Poirot shorts." -- San Francisco Chronicle"Twelve little masterpieces of detection. Poirot and Agatha Christie at their inimitable best." -- Sunday Express (London)
