A very short story, and a reasonable introduction to the genre/character.
In this, Poirot is called in to investigate when a wealthy young lady is discovered under the seat of a train carriage. She has been stabbed, and her jewellery is missing.
With seemingly little info, and minimal investigation, Poirot solves the crime.

A very clever case featuring Poirot - at the height of his power, might I add - and an eagerly action seeking Japp - who I also enjoy - and my beloved Captain Hastings. Didn't guess the ending of this one - but it was a true delight to read :)

A fun short story. The mystery was interesting, and everything was available to guess what was happening. I do like having a small note to pause before the reveal is done so I can try to guess who did the murder. It was quick and made sense once fully explained.
