Meurtre en Mésopotamie

All 51 Hercule Poirot short stories presented in chonological order in a single volume - plus a bonus story not seen for more than 70 years.

 'My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.'

 The dapper, moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head, curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own 'little grey cells' has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century. 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.

 This edition now also includes Poirot and the Regatta Mystery, an early version of an Agatha Christie story not published since 1936!

Les Sept Cadrans - Occasion

A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.

 Bunch, engrossed in her flower arrangements for the church is rather dully placing the chrysanthemums when she sees a man crumpled over on the chancel steps, dying. The man can only utter one word, 'Sanctuary'. Nothing can be done, and his final words 'please, please' can't help anyone at the vicarage to understand what has happened. But, when his relatives arrive very promptly to pick up his possessions Bunch can't get the word Sanctuary out of her head and she knows just who to turn to, her godmother, Miss Marple. What Bunch and Miss Marple discover is rather more exotic and exciting than can ever be expected to happen in a sleepy village like Chipping Cleghorn, who is this man and what does Sanctuary mean?

Sanctuary - A Miss Marple Short Story

Il ne le répétera jamais assez : Hercule Poirot est le plus grand détective de tous les temps. Quel mystère pourrait le dérouter ? Disparition de bijoux inestimables, suicide suspect, espions retors, meurtre crapuleux, escroquerie de haut vol ou sombre affaire d'héritage, rien ne lui résiste. Mais surtout, pas d'acrobaties à quatre pattes dans l'herbe, une loupe à la main. Pas de dissertation sur un mégot taché de rouge à lèvres. Non, Hercule Poirot laisse ces divertissements aux besogneux de Scotland Yard. Il se contente de s'installer dans un fauteuil et de laisser fonctionner ses illustres petites cellules grises... Ce recueil de nouvelles, spécifiquement français et initialement publié en 1968, est une adaptation partielle du recueil britannique titré Poirot Investigates, publié en 1924, recueil dont il reprend neuf des onze nouvelles.En voici la liste:L'Aventure de l'Étoile de l'Ouest La Tragédie de Marsdon ManorL'Aventure de l'appartement bon marché Le Mystère de Hunter's Lodge Vol d'un million de dollars de bons L'Aventure du tombeau égyptien L'Enlèvement du Premier ministreLe Crime de Regent's Court L'Énigme du testament de M. Marsh

Les enquêtes d'Hercule Poirot

Luke Fitzwilliam could not believe Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood - or her speculation that the local doctor was next in line. Within hours Miss Pinkerton is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Mere coincidence!
