Another fantastic Poirot collection.

These four stories were Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror, & Triangle at Rhodes.

Interestingly, I really enjoyed The Incredible Theft, because unlike the others, I wasn't overly familiar with the TV adaptation. Our family tend to avoid the ones about kidnapping the prime minister or stealing submarine plans etc, so I got to read it with relatively fresh eyes.

Good stuff.

Read in german translation, my book also included some of poirots early cases. 

This was alright, as always. I'm truly not a crime novel person but it's well written and it was fun and interesting while it lasted. Can't say it's very memorable, but that's not new for me and agatha christie. Have had this sitting on my book shelf for years and just finally got around to reading it while catching up on my stack of unread books. Could be good for getting out of reading slumps since it's so short and easy to read.

I usually don't like Agatha Christie's short stories but these were really good!
Murder in the Mews: 4 stars✨
The Incredible Theft: 3.5 stars✨ (I guessed who the thief was but not the whole story)
Dead Man's Mirror: 5 stars✨ (Brilliant
