Wasps' Nest: a Hercule Poirot Short Story
Ratings9
Average rating3.8
Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot both make appearances in Agatha Christie’s Double Sin and Other Stories, a sterling collection of short mystery fiction that offers double the suspense, surprise, and fun. In one of London’s most elegant shops, a decorative doll dressed in green velvet adopts some rather human, and rather sinister, traits. A country gentleman is questioned about a murder yet to be committed. While summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever dared imagine possible. In a small country church, a dying man’s last word becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime. These chilling stories, and more, cleverly wrought by master Agatha Christie and solved by the inimitable Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple.

❖ Review Quickie
❖ Background: I have fond memories watching the Poirot TV show as a young lad and marveling at the locations he visited. One episode in particular, called The Chocolate Box, takes place in Antwerp, Belgium and I knew the second I saw it that I had to visit there someday. Well, mission accomplished. I had never read the short story, so I soaked it all in on my train ride over from Brussels. It was such a lovely place filled with inspiring architecture and splendid people.
❖ Review: The short story itself was fun and incredibly thrilling. It outlines one of Poirot's critical failures as a detective and showcases just how imaginative Agatha Christie was.
Its short and sweet, so give it a go.
❖ Category: Mystery
❖ Rating: 4/5
Este pequeno conto revela uma investigação por parte de Poirot que assumiu contornos que o mesmo não estava à espera. Através de uma reviravolta inesperada, descobrimos que o detetive belga também falha na resolução dos casos.
Gostei mais do que estava à espera.
