The film star and the diamond . . . the `suicide' that was a 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 pharaoh's tomb . . . a jewel robbery by the sea . . . the abduction of a Prime Minister . . . the disappearance of a banker . . . a phone call to a dying man . . . .and finally, the mystery of the missing will. In these eleven stories that make up Poirot Investigates eccentric detective Hercule Poirot is embroiled in mysteries of greed, jealousy and revenge.

In this superb collection of stories featuring Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective and his little grey cells, Agatha Christie appears to have been influenced by Sherlock Holmes. The relationship between Poirot and Hastings is very like that of Holmes/Watson, the stories. Though the tone and settings appear Sherlockian, the solutions are purely - and splendidly - Christie.
