With his career still in its formative years, the panache with which Hercule Poirot could solve even the most puzzling mystery is obvious.Chronicled by his friend Captain Hastings, these eighteen early cases - from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder - were all guaranteed to test Poirot’s soon-to-be-famous ‘little grey cells’ to their absolute limit.

    Such a light read of short stories to keep busy. I love the way Poirot solves everything making it look so "obvious". I have to admit that there were some cases where everything looked way too convenient, or where "the truth" seems way to fictional and fantastic, some even feel like a guess, but overall I loved this book. Highly recommended.
