Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie
3.0

It's not clear from the cover that this is a collection of short stories. They help illustrate Poirot's genius by showing how little he can work with to solve a crime, but some feel like they'd make more interesting expanded works. A few stories are rife with racial terms that will make you cringe but were acceptable at the time of publishing. Enjoyable but not my favorite Poirot, though it's fun to follow him into numerous adventures with Hastings in each story.
