Poirot Investigates

Image
Author: Agatha Christie Series: Hercules Poirot Mysteries #3 Genre: Mystery, Short Stories Original publication date: 1924 Book description: A short story collection of mysteries and cases Poirot and his friend Hastings solve. Thoughts: First off I am reading the works of Agatha Christie in publication order, I had begun to buy her works in second-hand shops and in amazon when I ran into any of them at a cheap price (yeah I am a cheap person, or just not rich I have to try to downsize my expenses). I have owned this book for a little bit, I bought it last year and yet I had no idea it was a short story collection, pretty funny how that works. This book contains several stories so I'll give just a rating to each one and then do an overall rating for the collection. *The adventure of the western star. A movie star seeks Poirot, she is scared. She received a few letters warning her that she will lose a precious diamond. Another person in England has rumored to have a si...

Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create.

Now, after a summer of seclusion, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Haunted by the memory of the boyfriend she still loves and navigating rocky relationships with her family, former friends and the girl whose life she saved, Val must come to grips with the tragedy that took place and her role in it, in order to make amends and move on with her life.

This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other.
