Here is an iconic collection of Christie's stories, dedicated to the most intricate cases from the practice of Hercule Poirot—and how the greatest detective of all time solved them.
Agatha Christie is the most published author of all time after Shakespeare. The circulation of her books is second only to his works and the Bible. More than a billion of Christie's books have been sold worldwide in English and the same number in other languages. She is the author of eighty detective novels and short story collections, twenty plays, two books of memoirs, and six psychological novels written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple have forever become exemplary heroes of the action genre.
This collection contains eleven cases from the practice of the great detective Hercule Poirot. Eleven masterpieces of his unique brain, eleven flawless pearls from the vast collection of successes of a little Belgian. These cases range from serious and tragic to amusing; Poirot solved some mysteries without leaving his favorite armchair, while others required him to travel to Egypt... What unites all these investigations, so different, is the personality of a genius detective with an elegantly curled moustache and the most perfect 'little grey cells' of the brain in the world. So, ladies and gentlemen, Hercule Poirot is leading the investigation!
