ONE UNINVITED GUEST FOUR OMINOUS NAMES
Framed in the doorway of Poirot's bedroom stood a man coated from head to foot in dust. The intruder's gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell.
Who has he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper?
Hercule Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about 'Number Four'.
THE LITTLE GREY CELLS HOLD THE SOLUTION
An early effort from Agatha Christie, featuring Hercule Poirot. A fix-up of a number of short stories, it's as much a thriller as a mystery. Not one of her best by any means and a bit cringeworthy, but acceptable. Plus, it's free. The best-formatted free editions I know of are available through Standard eBooks at standardebooks.org/ebooks/agatha-christie/the-big-four .
