First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond… then came the ‘suicide’ that was murder… the mystery of the absurdly chaep 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!

Review of 'Poirot Investigates (Poirot)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

"Poirot Investigates" by Agatha Christie is the first published collection of Hercule Poirot short stories. I really like it because you begin to get a more nuanced understanding of Poirot's methods. You see how his quirks and predilections are essential to the solving of each case. Some in the collection are fiendishly clever and well done. I would have rated the collection higher but I felt that not every story was equally good. I especially liked: "The Mystery of the Hunter's Lodge," "The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan," "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim," and "The Case of the Missing Will."
