Upon the initial appearance of Poirot Investigates in the 1920s reviewers were impressed by the author's ability to create a complete, mystery crime drama with a surprising but logical solution inside a tight package of four thousand words of a crime drama. For the next fifty years, writing at any length that took her fancy, Christie would continue to produce some of the finest mysteries ever written. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Poirot Investigates is both modern and readable.
