![]() ![]() I’ve seen the film and television adaptations of Dame Agatha’s detectives, but going back to the source material is very refreshing. No matter what the case, from blackmail, jewels that have gone missing, an unusually inexpensive apartment in a very costly block of flats, missing Prime Ministers or Egyptian curses (keep in mind Dame Agatha’s husband was an archeologist) our detective shines his searchlight of an intellect and reveals the hidden truths.The thing to remember with a book such as this is that this is the basis for much of what comes later. As narrator to the eleven tales herein Hastings does a serviceable job, his lack of understanding of the various cases only serving to underscore Poirot’s brillance. This is the third outing for Poirot and his Watson, Captain Hastings. Poirot Investigates (1923) (Poirot # 3) by Agatha Christie. ![]()
