Appearing in Agatha Christie,s very first novel in 1920 and her very last in 1975, Hercule Poirot became the most celebrated detective since Sherlock Holmes, appearing in 33 novels, a play, and these 51 short stories. Arranged in their original publication order, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through his many film and television appearances.

著者について
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Here they all are! All the Hercule Poirot short stories by Agatha Christie in chronological order (note that the vast majority of the stories were first published in magazines so they don't necessarily agree with the order they were compiled in book form). This contained a number of stories I had never read before, so I would say it's well worth the cost for any fan of the Belgian detective!

I chose to purchase this book because Poirot is, indeed, the most brilliant detective of all time. However, this particular publication was a major disappointment because the print size was infinitesimally small. There was no warning in the details section of the Amazon website advertising this fact. I can only hope that in the future Amazon will include type/font size in its list of details for the books it sells.
