Poirot Investigates is a new collection of 14 classic early Poirot short stories by Agatha Christie. This reformat and re-release from Dover published 16th July 2024 is 176 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. This collection is released as part of the Dover Mystery Classics series, and is formatted to coordinate with the other volumes in the series.

Originally released in 1924-25, this collection of short stories will be familiar to most Christie fans, and includes The Adventure of the "Western Star", The Case of the Missing Will, The Veiled Lady, The Lost Mine, The Chocolate Box, and nine more. 

This is comfort reading. They'll be familiar to most readers of classic fiction, but every single one of them is like a warm visit with an old acquaintance. All is as it should be and all comes to right in the end with the help of the little Belgian detective's intelligence. 

For readers who are new to classic golden age detective fiction, each and every one is worthwhile, well written, and clever. 

Five stars for the stories, and for Dover's unwavering dedication to preserving and keeping these important cultural treasures available for new generations of readers.
