About this ebook
"My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world."
The dapper,moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head, curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own ‘little grey cells’ solved some of the twentieth century’s most puzzling crimes. But what do we really know about the eccentric genius underneath that fussy façade?
Sometimes funny, often profound, and always revealing, this book of quotes and comments from more than fifty Poirot novels and short stories gives an entertaining glimpse of the man behind the moustache, and the wit and wisdom of the Queen of Crime who created him.
Includes an exclusive essay by Agatha Christie on her love/hate relationship with her most famous creation.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A natty little gift book full of fun, frivolous and astute quotes from the sometimes vain, sometimes annoying, but always right, Hercule Poirot. A must for fans.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While I am a fan of Agatha Christie, I am not a fan of Hercule Poirot. I find him arrogant and cruel. I can only take him in small doses, and this book of quotations delivers his pomposity in palatable amounts. A delightful little books for fans of the detective and of Dame Agatha.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Full of lovely little one-line snippets from some of the Hercule Poirot novels and short stories, this will remind you of why you've enjoyed reading them. I truly wish some one had given it to me in my Christmas stocking!The Introduction, written by Agatha Christie in 1938, gives us a brief overview how Hercule Poirot came to be and how "there was much more in the little man than I had ever suspected." Her humour comes through when, later, she says, "I am beholden to him financially."At the back, in References, there is a handy list of the books and short stories in which he actually appeared - there has been a tendency by film and television to locate him in other stories.I loved it.
