La Mystérieuse Affaire de Styles / Mr Brown

There's more than petty theft going on in a London youth hostel.

 An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot's interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items - including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup - he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a 'unique and beautiful problem'.

 The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?

Considered to be one of Agatha Christie's most controversial mysteries, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing.

Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd—the man she had planned to marry—is murdered. It is a baffling, complex case involving blackmail, suicide, and violent death, a cast that taxes Hercule Poirot’s “little grey cells” before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his fabled career.

Ordeal by Innocence

Une série de vols, en apparence anodins, conduit Hercule Poirot à mener l'enquête au sein de la pension Vanilos. Cette pension pour étudiants est un joyeux mélange d'individus cosmopolites. Mais la liste hétéroclite des objets dérobés : une boîte de chocolat, un stéthoscope, un vieux pantalon de flanelle, un sac à dos hors d'âge et même une bague en diamants repêchée dans une soupière, intrigue Poirot. Son intuition lui dit que derrière ces petits délits, quelque chose d'autrement plus sérieux se trame. Sinon, pourquoi les pensionnaires de Mrs Hubbard auraient-ils tous l'air si inquiet ?
