Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie

What connects a movie star, an archaeologist, a French maid, a prime minister, a wealthy dowager, and an Italian count? Crime, of course—and the master crime-solver, Hercule Poirot.

I've always enjoyed Christie's writing, for the very reason that most people seem to hate it - it's so very intricate and detailed. Yes it's horrendously outdated - this set of eleven short stories was published in 1924. But it's still a collection of fascinating and intricate mysteries. And with only a few short pages for each story, you've got to be on the ball to work out whodunnit before Poirot tells you. Of course, sometimes it's easy to know who it was, just not why or how.
