What People are Saying About This

M. J. Rose

“Hercule Poirot taught me that ‘all that matters is the little grey cells within. Secretly and silently they do their part.’ No action sequence rivals Poirot using his intelligence and logic to solve a crime.”

Editorial Reviews

A capital collection of Poirot mystery stories, ingeniously constructed.

Literary Review

A capital collection of Poirot mystery stories, ingeniously constructed.

"Agatha Christie created the modern murder mystery." —The New Yorker

“Christie’s books are so much more than great puzzles. Each of her novels demonstrates a profound understanding of people–how they think, feel and behave–all delivered in her crisp, elegant, addictively readable style.” —The Guardian  

“Christie wrote brilliantly compact, stylized and efficient mysteries. . . . The genre in its lean classic English form fit her like a cat burglar’s thin black glove.” —John Updike
