Five short stories taken from the publication, Poirot Investigates

Poirot investigates five exciting cases and proves that his own idiosyncratic approach to crime detection is also a highly efficient one. “It is the brain, the little grey cells,” he says, “on which one must rely. The senses mislead. One must seek the truth within – no without.”

From the Back Cover:

READ BY DAVID SUCHET

Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie’s famous Belgian detective, uses his idiosyncratic approach to crime detection – applying logic rather than leg work – to solve five otherwise entirely baffling cases from the collection 'Poirot Investigates'. In the process he narrowly averts an international crisis, foils a mysterious plot to steal two priceless gems and defies the curse of a long dead Egyptian King.

Read by David Suchet, who plays Poirot in the popular television series.
