'Poirot Investigates', originally published in 1924, is a collection of fourteen Poirot stories, told over 211 pages.

Being the third in the Poirot series of Agatha Christie, the fourth one for me to read, I was least impressed by `Poirot Investigates'. This book is a small series in itself with about ten short stories of Poirot investigating and solving distinct cases.Sure, the murders, crimes and mysteries are al...
