Une autobiographie

Hercule Poirot is determined to solve an old husband and wife double murder that is still an open verdict...  Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. Here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies - a husband and wife - shot dead.  But who had killed whom?

À l'hôtel Bertram

Ces douze nouvelles n'appartiennent pas à proprement parler à la littérature policière, mais toutes traitent avec brio de situations étranges ou sont conçues autour d'un meurtre. Chacune, dans sa brièveté, est une comédie complète ou un drame et aucune ne ressemble aux autres, sinon que la plupart, quel que soit le mystère qu'elles distillent, se terminent par un éclat de rire.
