Poirot Investigates

by Agatha Christie Book 3 in the Hercule Poirot series.

First published 1924

4.2(6,977)

This collection brings together early investigations narrated by Captain Hastings. Poirot deals with jewel theft, abduction, blackmail, disputed wills, diplomatic secrets and apparently supernatural danger, moving between London flats, country houses, continental journeys and an excavation associated with a supposedly cursed Egyptian tomb.

The shorter form concentrates attention on the moment when a misleading story, physical detail or pattern of behaviour becomes intelligible. The cases capture the international movement and social variety of the early 1920s, while the Egyptian episode reflects the popular fascination with archaeology that followed the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
