2/5
This book is a collection of 11 short stories, featuring the famous 'consulting specialist' - Hercule Poirot.
I love Poirot, but for me these short stories aren't up to muster. I really struggled to get through it. It reeks of trying to one-up Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, who could write amazing short stories and novels concerning his famous consulting detective. It doesn't work for Christie, and luckily she seemed to have realised this as there are a lot more Poirot novels than short stories.
