This is the collection of several stories. Eleven stories to be precise.
The Adventure of "The Western Star" - 7
The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - 9
The Adventure of the Cheap Flat - 6
The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge - 7
The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - 7
The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb - 9
The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan - 9
The Kidnapped Prime Minister - 8
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - 8
The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman -7.5
The Case of the Missing Will - 9
This book is a collection of stories. Most of them I already knew from the TV Series from along time ago (it was being re-schedule here in Portugal).
I think the series itself were good and the 50minutes were enough to tell each tale. Unfortunaly I didn't enjoy that much most of the stories in the book. I don't know why. I think some of the stories could have been a full novel or at least a novellete. ( I think it's written this way). But there are some good stories and we see Poirot's brain cells at their maximum.

If the only part of a whodunit you like is when the detective makes the big reveal at the end, this may be the book for you! It contains several short Poirot stories each with its own BIG REVEAL but none of that icky character development, or plot really. I listened to the audiobook version of this, which was narrated by Richard Armitage of "North and South". I will never not love Mr. Thornton doing a Belgian accent.

Unfortunately, not one of my favourite Agatha Christie books.
Perhaps it was the fact that the stories were short, even though that was the whole point of the book, it was not for me. Either way, it was fun to read and definitely relaxing, Its just that I prefer the longer stories of hers.

I love Agatha Christie and Poirot. Hastings is also a favorite. But for some reason, I haven't enjoyed her short stories as much as full length novels. They lack the same level of depth and intrigue to me. It took me about a month to get through these because I just wasn't looking forward to reading them. The last few I even zoned out almost completely. So some stars for the characters and author, but overall not super enjoyable for me.
