Agatha Christie 
The Early Cases of Hercule Poirot 

This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures by Agatha Christie are compiled from short stories written for The Sketch magazine from March to December 1923. In these stories, including ‘The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim, ‘ ‘The Veiled Lady, ‘ and ‘The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb, ‘ the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie’s reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.
