Some victory bonds were on their way from London to New York, but they never arrived. The man responsible for ensuring the package arrived safely is accused of stealing the bonds. Poirot knows somebody else stole the package, & he uses logic to discover who committed the theft & how they did it. Great fun!

Agatha Christie came to despise Hercule Poirot, regarding him as a "detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep." However, he remained incredibly popular with fans and, smart businesswoman that she was, she milked the Poirot cashcow for all he was worth--and "The Million Dollar Bond Robbery" makes that abundantly clear. She was definitely phoning it in on this story
Spoilersomething something spoiled milk pun ... something something skim milk pun, review written on my phone--and not an iPhone, either, but a YotaPhone.

An early Poirot. The trademark Christie plot without any additions of a tale.
