Description
VINTAGE CHRISTIE! VINTAGE POIROT! In one volume you have five Hercule Poirot mystery novels chosen to show Agatha Christie as the absolute master of her art, whose skills gave wing to some of the most devilishly subtle and daring plots ever devised for the bafflement of mystery fans.
In these novels the vain but gentle M. Poirot's understanding of the triple passions of love, greed, and revenge always takes him beyond what appears to be. To discern the impulse that turns otherwise attractive men and women into killers who lace a loved one's cocktail with arsenic or put a bullet through his head at close range. To recognize the difference between those who love and those who merely want to prossess.
For in these five novels - behind the facades of wealth, culture, and breeding that Agatha Christie knew and described so accurately - the passions are discovered and laid bare.
