"Murder, stolen plans, a mysterious death and a menage a trois - four intriguing novellas featuring Hercule Poirot...How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secert military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And who destroyed the 'eternal triangle' of love involving renowned beauty, Valentine Chantry? Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases -- Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror and Triangle at Rhodes -- each a miniature classic of characterisation, incident and suspense."
This read was as enjoyable as ever. In the 4 short stories, Hercule Poirot is not as annoying as get was in An Appointment with Death. It seems that crime follows him wherever he goes!
Agatha Christie does again an amazing job with the plots, one has to remember that this book was published in 1937! She must have had a very scheming and twisted mind to think of all the stories she has written. The more of her books I read the more in awe I am of her.

I listened to this collection of 4 Poirot short stories on audio through Libby and really enjoyed it! All the mysteries were fun and well written and made it a good option for listening while driving around.
I 💜 Poirot.
