About this book

Eleven short cases for Hercule Poirot, told by his friend Captain Hastings: a missing film star's diamond, a death in a country house, a kidnapped prime minister, a vanished banker, and a series of deaths among the people who opened an ancient Egyptian tomb, inspired by the excitement around the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Context and significance

Published in 1924, these stories show Agatha Christie learning to build a puzzle in a few pages, with the little Belgian's vanity and his 'little grey cells' already at full strength. They are a perfect introduction for readers who want a short mystery; for the full-length novels, see The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
