Story
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Story
Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's "private collection". Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.

Story
Mrs. Packington felt alone, helpless, and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in the Times that read: "Are you happy? If not, consult Mr. Parker Pyne." Equally adept at putting together the fragments of a murder mystery or the pieces of a broken marriage, Mr. Parker Pyne is possibly the world's most unconventional private investigator. Armed with just his intuitive knowledge of human nature, he is an Englishman abroad, traveling the globe to solve and undo crime and misdemeanor.

Story
Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

But Poirot soon has more than a possible petty thief on his hands when murder enters the picture.
What the critics say
"The infallibly original Agatha Christie has come up with a new and highly ingenious puzzle-construction." (The New York Times)

Great book, but Hugh Fraser’s accents go awry
Like earlier Agatha Christie novels, this one provides an interesting glimpse into the time in which it was written. The 1950s were not as conservative as we in later generations have been taught to believe!
Overall, this is another great, interesting, enjoyable novel :-)
This time, however, Hugh Fraser’s voicing of characters falls short, including one which ends up sounding racist. His American accent is all right, but not quite good enough to fool Canadians or Americans. His Black African (but not South African) accent starts off sounding like a decent representation of commonalities among many of those accents. HOWEVER, at some point, Fraser loses track, and, in the last chunk of the book, this African sounds a lot like an Indian :-( (By the way, Fraser’s Indian accents are pretty good, managing to stay away from the all too common, racist “bidi bidi” accent [for an explanation of this term, please see Aasif Mandvi’s autobiography, No Land’s Man, available as an Audible Audiobook read by the author].

too contrived
I generally like complicated plots in mysteries but there is such a thing as too contrived and in my opinion this book qualifies. A rare miss by AC.
