Published in 1924, Poirot Investigates is the first collection of Hercule Poirot short stories — eleven compact cases in which Christie’s Belgian detective, accompanied by the faithful Captain Hastings, solves thefts, disappearances, and murders by the power of observation and psychological insight. The stories are among Christie’s most elegant, the shorter form suiting her gift for concealment and revelation.
Cases such as “The Adventure of the Western Star” and “The Kidnapped Prime Minister” showcase Poirot’s methods in miniature. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg for all eleven stories in a well-formatted edition.
