 The day after her tragic suicide he retires upstairs to read a mysterious letter, leaving his closest friends and family to eat dinner below.

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

 Throwing on an almost convincing French accent, Tommy is determined to be the great Hanaud to his and Tuppence's latest, rather lovely client. Miss Hargreaves has recently received a box of chocolates from nobody knows who, and due to her dislike of the treat was the only one to not fall foul of the arsenic spiked treats. But, Miss Hargreaves is not the first recipient of such a gift; three other large country houses have received arsenic laced chocolates. But Miss Hargreaves is holding something back, and it will take Tommy and Tuppence to take up residence at the old house to discover the true culprit, but will they find out the truth in time?

Une poignée de seigle / Le major parlait trop

Sur le seuil de la chambre d'Hercule Poirot se tient un visiteur inattendu, couvert de poussière de la tête aux pieds. L'homme le regarde fixement pendant un moment, puis son corps décharné chancelle et s'affale sur le sol. Qui est-il ? A-t-il subi un traumatisme ou seulement un coup de fatigue ? Et surtout, que signifie ce chiffre quatre, qu'il a griffonné sur toute la surface d'une feuille de papier ? Poirot se retrouve immergé dans une intrigue à dimension internationale, risquant sa vie - et celle de son "frère jumeau" - pour découvrir la vérité sur les Quatre et déjouer leur complot maléfique.
