There is something about Hercule Poirot and Hastings that just rub me the wrong way.
I don't really enjoy reading the Poirot books that Hastings is involved with because I find him naive and pompous. I feel like he makes the mysteries about him more often than not and I just don't care to have the story revolve around him.
As for these short stories, they were alright but nothing special. I do tend to love Agatha Christie's novels better than her short story collections because I feel like the intrigue of her novels is the journey you go on to figure out the mystery, without it, you are just left with a crime and an explanation within 10 to 15 pages.
