Hallowe'en party

The world's most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot - the legendary star of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and currently The Haunting in Venice - returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930's London.

 'Murder! Me? How dare you!'

 Hercule Poirot's tranquil afternoon is ruined when an angry woman accosts him outside his front door. She threatens to report the famous detective to Scotland Yard for falsely accusing her of murder. Seeking sanctuary inside, Poirot is startled to find that he has a visitor - another stranger claiming to have received a letter from Poirot accusing him of killing the same man.

 How many more innocent people have been sent letters? If Poirot didn't send them, who did? And who is Barnabas Pandy, the alleged victim - is he dead or alive? Poirot has answers to find, and quickly, or more lives may be put in danger.

The Mystery of Three Quarters - The New Hercule Poirot Mystery

A flamboyant party host is murdered in full view of a roomful of bridge players… Mr Shaitana was famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he was a man of whom everybody was a little afraid. So, when he boasted to Poirot that he considered murder an art form, the detective had some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana’s private collection. Indeed, what began as an absorbing evening of bridge was to turn into a more dangerous game altogether…

Le colonel Bantry est contrarie: une jeune femme, vetue d'une toilette tape-a-l' il, a ete retrouvee etranglee dans sa bibliotheque ! Cruelle enigme pour la police.

Un cadavre dans la bibliothèque

On a beau dire, ce genre d'incident est extrêmement fâcheux... Les domestiques n'ont plus la tête à ce qu'ils font et tout va de travers. S'est-on occupé de prendre des dispositions pour le déjeuner ? Non, bien entendu ! Et cependant, la bienséance exigerait que le menu en fût modifié. On ne peut servir le canard comme si de rien n'était. Et que faire de l'invité qui va arriver d'un instant à l'autre ? Bah ! Il paraît que M. Hercule Poirot a pour métier de découvrir les assassins. Il sera ravi de trouver au Vallon de quoi s'occuper...

Le vallon

C'est toujours après le drame qu'on s'avise qu'un personnage falot a traversé la scène sans que personne lui prête attention. Et justement, dans le bureau de Mr Whittington, il y avait un clerc qui se faisait appeler Mr Brown. Mais voilà ! Personne n'était capable de se rappeler quoi que ce fût de Mr Brown. Pas même son visage. La description qu'on donne invariablement de Mr Brown, c'est qu'il ressemble à tout le monde.

Mr Brown (Tommy and Tuppence, #1)

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

 Miss Marple is accosted at a party by a pair of lovebirds who think that their lately deceased uncle has buried their inheritance. The naïve pair expects to impart the details of the tale to Miss Marple and for her to summon forth where the buried treasure must be instantaneously. But, the careful observer of human nature, the consequence of living in a small English village, knows that a little examination is needed. Invited to Ansteys, the ransacked family seat, Miss Marple ensconces herself amongst house that has perhaps been too thoroughly investigated. Uncle Mathew reminds Miss Marple of her old Uncle Henry and she regales the two with what appear to be meaningless, infuriating anecdotes, little do they know their importance and worth.
