Story
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Story
It's a race against the clock in this tale of danger and intrigue. In the glitzy era of the 1920s, charming armature sleuths, Tommy and Tuppence set out to solve the mysterious disappearance of a client and unravel a mysterious plot involving blackmail, international intrigue, and perhaps even the sinking of the Lusitania. When labor unrest erupts in England, the situation could turn deadly if a state secret falls into the wrong hands, but Tuppence has no qualms in accepting a job offer to stop that from happening.

But when resident and well-loved spinster Miss Simpson takes a stroll in the nearby woods, she stumbles across something she was never meant to see, and there's only one way to keep her quiet. Miss Simpson's death is not suspicious, say the villagers. But Miss Lucy Bellringer refuses to rest: her friend has been murdered. She is sure of it.

Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead. Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it.

At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

Publisher's Summary
The world’s most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot - the legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and most recently The Monogram Murders and Closed Casket - returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930s London.
Returning home after lunch one day, Hercule Poirot finds an angry woman waiting outside his front door. She demands to know why Poirot has sent her a letter accusing her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met.
Poirot has also never heard of a Barnabas Pandy and has accused nobody of murder. Shaken, he goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him - a man who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy....
Poirot wonders how many more letters of this sort have been sent in his name. Who sent them, and why? More importantly, who is Barnabas Pandy, is he dead, and, if so, was he murdered? And can Poirot find out the answers without putting more lives in danger?
Critic Reviews
"What Sophie and Agatha have in common is a rare talent for fiendish unpredictability. They make you see how the impossible might be possible after all." (Sunday Telegraph)

Most awful book
As someone who loves Agatha Christie’s books this was a horrible reimagining of her famous character. There were far too many superfluous characters who served no purpose, the climax was sadly wanting and the book went nowhere. Completely disappointing all round.

Disappointing
Being a big fan of Agatha Christie’s Poirot I was sadly disappointed by this book. The story seemed to have too many sub plots and kept going off track giving us information about characters that we really didn’t need to know. It became slow and tedious and took far too long to get to the conclusion which was an anti climax, and I n the end I didn’t really care about any of the characters. Poirot’s character was too much of a deviation from the original and he became annoying. I think if a writer is going to use such a famous character in a book then they should stick to the original characteristics. The narrator did the best he could considering the clumsy over written text he had to deal with. The French accent became a bit much towards the end however.

Enjoyable
I thought this was an enjoyable mystery which kept me guessing. Sophie Hannah does a good job of rendering Poirot and his idiosyncrasies. I liked the narrator, who created a believable for each character . Yes, it took a while to get there, but so did Christie sometimes!

Weak Plot
I wanted to like this book but found that as the story progressed the plot was weak and by the end of the book I was proven right.
I have read Sophie Hannah before and enjoyed her writing but this one was disappointing.

it was ok but too long and drawn out
there is a reason that Agatha Christy sold so well. This was not in that realm.

Oh I do miss Christie
Not a bad story. It’s a big long winded and I almost had to opt out but in the end I stayed to the end. The narrator was great but his Poiret isn’t all that hot. Trouble is I’ve seen all the tv series and the Belgium accent is perfect. This story is ok.
