Beware! Peril to the detective who says: "It is so small - it does not matter..." Everything matters.'
After the Great War, life can never be the same again. Wounds need healing, and the horror of violent death banished into memory.

The Murder on the Links
The premise is gripping right from the start: a wealthy client, Paul Renauld, is found murdered on a golf course in France. Poirot is summoned to investigate, only to find that he’s too late to save the man, whose body is discovered in a shallow grave. The bizarre details immediately set the stage for intrigue: the victim is wearing a coat too large for him, and there is a mysterious love letter found on his body. As Poirot starts to piece together the details of the crime, another shock comes—another body, almost identical in nature, is found under similarly suspicious circumstances.
Poirot Investigates
The very first collection of superb short stories featuring Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings…
First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond… then came the ‘suicide’ that was murder… the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat… a suspicious death in a locked gun-room… a million dollar bond robbery… the curse of a pharoah’s tomb… a jewel robbery by the sea… the abduction of a Prime Minister… the disappearance of a banker… a phone call from a dying man… and, finally, the mystery of the missing will.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Known for its startling reveal, this is the book that changed Agatha Christie’s career.
Roger Ackroyd was a man who knew too much. He knew the woman he loved had poisoned her first husband. He knew someone was blackmailing her – and now he knew she had taken her own life with a drug overdose. Soon the evening post would let him know who the mystery blackmailer was. But Ackroyd was dead before he’d finished reading it – stabbed through the neck where he sat in the study.
The Big Four
Framed in the doorway of Poirot’s bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man’s gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell. Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about ‘Number Four’.
The Mystery of the Blue Train
Aboard the luxurious Blue Train running from London to the Riviera, pampered millionaire's daughter Ruth Kettering is murdered, her expensive jewels stolen. But Poirot is at hand to solve the case.
