Fortunately, his old acquaintance Hercule Poirot is nearby – beginning one of crime fiction's most celebrated detective careers.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd sees Poirot drawn into a quiet village mystery involving blackmail, secrets and the violent death of a wealthy man. The result is one of Agatha Christie's most famous and ingenious mysteries.
In Cat Among the Pigeons, murder strikes at an exclusive girls' school, where political intrigue, hidden jewels and dangerous secrets create a mystery that demands Poirot's extraordinary powers of deduction.
After the Funeral begins after the death of a wealthy family patriarch. When a relative casually suggests that his death may have been murder – and is soon killed herself – Poirot must uncover the truth hidden within a deeply divided family.
In Death in the Clouds, a passenger is murdered during a flight from Paris to London. With the killer apparently trapped aboard the aircraft alongside the victim, Poirot faces a classic closed-circle mystery.
Murder on the Orient Express places Poirot aboard the famous luxury train, where a passenger is found murdered while the train is stranded in the snow. Every traveller becomes a suspect in one of the most celebrated mysteries ever written.
Finally, Death on the Nile takes Poirot to Egypt, where a luxurious Nile cruise becomes the setting for jealousy, betrayal and murder.
