Pretty darn close if not, though. Hard to tell - There are so many short stories (and several different collections) it’s hard to tell. Also I think a few were renamed. A tad frustrating but not this book’s fault, it’s still a great & huge collection! .The audio book is fantastic too - narrated by David Suchet (who played Poirot for 25 years on TV) and Hugh Fraser (who played Capt. Hastings opposite Suchet’s Poirot on TV). I think Fraser does both Poirot and Hastings at the same time on some stories — he does a pretty darn good Poirot, but you can tell if you listen very closely. Not a complaint, still a very good job, just an observation & appreciation.). I love that Suchet & Fraser are doing the audiobooks too, the way the got Titus Welliver to start narrating the Harry Bosch books since he plays Bosch on TV.I have not run across Ms. Lemon yet, is she a TV adaptation addition? This is my first time through the Poirit books and I haven’t even gotten to the huge number of Poirot novels yet (also done in audiobook by Suchet and Fraser apparently!)I enjoy these when doing boring tasks like washing dishes, cleaning, mowing lawn, etc. Also to stay awake driving long distances. Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How could a Christie fan ask for more! *by H***N on December 31, 2020* This volume collects all 51 of the Hercule Poirot short stories. The stories were written between 1923 and 1940, which was the period during which Christie did most of her best work. Not every story is a gem, but there are very few weak entries, even though the first 25 were all published during 1923 and, presumably, were written very rapidly. One indication that she was writing hurriedly is that the relationship between Poirot and Hastings changes almost from story to story. When did Hastings first meet Poirot? Do they share an apartment? Are they partners in the detective business? The answers to these questions seem to vary from story to story. Apparently Christie was in too much of a hurry to try to make the Poirot/Hastings backstory consistent across the stories. But this inconsistency didn't reduce my enjoyment of the stories.The publisher missed the opportunity to provide this volume with an introduction that would have placed the stories in the context of Christie's career. Charles Todd provides a forward but, frankly, it's a rather worthless two-page discussion of Poirot as a character. There's nothing about how or why Christie turned out so many Poirot stories early on and then stopped writing them after 1940. There's also nothing beyond a brief entry at the beginning of each story to explain the publishing history of the stories. Some were apparently rewritten and lengthened after their first magazine publication. It would be interesting to know why.Still, the volume does give us all the Poirot stories in one volume, which is very useful. Of course, reading all 51 stories straight through is probably not the best way to enjoy them. Better to read a few at a time.Finally, although this paperback is nearly 900 pages long, it's well produced so that it opens easily and the spine remains intact while reading through the book--none of the annoying cracking of the spine that often happens with paperbacks of this length.Whether you're new to Christie and Poirot or whether you are a long-time fan, this volume is well worth purchasing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of challenging distraction *by D***C on November 12, 2024* The challenge is to discover the murderer before the reveal. I’ve been rarely able to do so. Brava Ms Christy. Excellently written. A wonderful distraction from cares of this sad world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1210619-hercule-poirot-the-complete-short-stories-a-hercule-poirot-mystery](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1210619-hercule-poirot-the-complete-short-stories-a-hercule-poirot-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
