Review: Poirot Investigates

Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fun and amusing collection of short stories. The mysteries are good, and although short, they are well developed and interesting! Surprisingly, it's in this collection that I got to really know Agatha Christie's famous detective, Hercule Poirot. That is, I had already read a couple of the author's more famous books, but while they were good stories, I didn't feel like I really knew the detective until I read this book - it is here that his personality, his character, his beliefs and quirks really shine through.  For example, I never really got how vain and kind of arrogant he was; but of course, arrogant with a reason! It's also funny how he interacts to his best friend, Captain Hastings. The collection was quite a treat!
