this didn’t work for me at all.
i rather like Poirot’s full-length novels, but sadly i have read them all already, so i’m struck with these tiny piny stories!
it has 14 stories and only one i liked was The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim: a Hercule Poirot Short Story . it has a very clever reveal!!!! 👏🏼

This is a collection of Poirot short stories with a few too many derogatory terms for Asian people. Especially the first story. I’m sure for the time that it was written that’s just the words they used but, as it’s a short story collection, you could just skip the first story as it’s mainly in that one.

Recueil de courtes nouvelles qui montrent Poirot comme enquêteur. J’ai moins embarqué dans ce livre-ci puisque les personnages changeaient très souvent. Le thrill et la curiosité de comprendre comment c’étaient passer les mystères étaient beaucoup moins présents.

Entertaining collection of stories based on deductions by Poirot, from the POV of Hastings. Enjoyable apart from one story, The Adventure of the "Western Star" which repeatedly uses a racial slur for a Chinese man.
