Publisher's Summary

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.

What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!

Clever and witty

Poirot takes on many unusual cases and showcases his little grey cells to remarkable advantage. Very enjoyable, the performances are true to life and very believable. Especially “la grippe”!

Short Stories Last Longer

I love the short story collections, they always last longer because I can listen to one or two a day, whereas the last Poirot novel I listened to I finished in one day!!
Strangely, David Suchet's narration is not as good as others, maybe because he doesn't have to do the whole package (actions, voice, mannerisms) he goes a bit overboard on the accent and it can sound comical instead of his excellent work on tv. In my mind Hugh Fraser is definitely the best.
Still a very satisfying collection, but if you have Murder In Paradise a lot of the same stories are in both collections.
