- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fifty Poirot stories...I'm finally getting to the point where I can tell her better short stories apart; some of these gave a lot of clues during the solution. "What? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Like the conclusion of an essay, the solution of a mystery may not provide new information. Nyaa.But, on the whole--enjoyable to read. I just like Poirot, though.
