POIROT INVESTIGATES 3

Arthritic and immobilized, Poirot calls on his old friend Captain Hastings to join him at Styles to be the eyes and ears that will feed observations to Poirot's still razor sharp mind. Though aware of the criminal's identity, Poirot will not reveal it to the frustrated Hastings, and dubs the nameless personage 'X'. Already responsible for several murders, X, Poirot warns, is ready to strike again, and the partners must work swiftly to prevent imminent murder.Poirot’s final case, a mystery which brings him and Hastings back to Styles where they first solved a crime together. The story was both anticipated and dreaded by Agatha Christie fans worldwide, many of whom still refuse to read it, as it is known to contain Poirot’s death.Agatha Christie wrote it during World War II, as a gift for her daughter should she not survive the bombings, and it was kept in a safe for over thirty years. It was agreed among the family that Curtain would be published finally in 1975 by Collins, her long-standing publishers, and that Sleeping Murder (the Marple story written during the war for her husband, Max) would follow.The reception of Poirot’s death was international, even earning him an obituary in The New York Times; he is still the only fictional character to have received such an honour. The first actor to take on the role of portraying Poirot in his final hours was David Suchet, as the final episode of the series Agatha Christie’s Poirot for which he’d been playing the role for twenty-five years. The episode was adapted in 2013.

Poirot quitte la scène

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

 This electric short story begins in October on the island of Rhodes, a veritable paradise of privacy, beauty and calm, or so Hercule Poirot has imagined.

 The reality is quite startlingly different. The idyll is disturbed by the arrival of famed Chanel beauty Valentine Chantry and a ripple of malice is felt across the island. Captivated by her wiles and immaculate good looks one young married man falters, closely watched by Valentine's brooding husband and the watchful eye of Poirot.

 Amidst the heady pink gins and close quarters Poirot senses that someone has murder in their heart, and he guesses right.

Meurtre en Mésopotamie

Mary Westmacott (Agatha Christie) Portrait inachevé Publié sous le pseudonyme de Mary Westmacott en 1934, ce délicat portrait de femme annonce singulièrement l'image que, trente ans plus tard, Agatha Christie nous offrira dans son Autobiographie.
Peut-être même peut-on imaginer que, la pudeur préservée par la fiction, la personnalité de l'auteur s'y livre avec plus de liberté. Autre facette du talent incontestable de la romancière, l'histoire de cette enfant choyée de l'époque victorienne, puis de cette jeune femme, avec ses amours, ses doutes et sa foncière angoisse, est aussi prétexte à une galerie de personnages savoureusement campés, où l'on reconnaît l'ébauche de bien des héros de l'oeuvre policière d'Agatha Christie.
