Gain Access Perilous Journeys Of Hercule Poirot: The Mystery Of The Blue Train / Death On The Nile / Murder In Mesopotamia Created By Agatha Christie In Manuscript

Christie is comfort food for me and right now I need lots of reassurance for the soul, This compendium of three stories, "The Mystery of the Blue Train" spoiled heiress is murdered while traveling to meet an sleazy lover while carrying rubies to die for, "Death on the Nile" another spoiled heiress, this time one who steals her best friends one true love, and gets her due for being so selfish though she is not as unlikeable as our first heiress, and "Murder in Mesopotamia" which I did not spend much time on because I didn't like it as much as the others perhaps because the victims really were quite innocent and the culprit was rather a sociopath.
Four novels of Agatha Christie in one volumePerilous Journeys, Mystery of the Blue Train, Death on the nile, and Murder in Mesopotamia.
This delightful book contains three novellas of Hercule Poirot stories, . Mystery of the Blue Train, Death on the Nile, and Murder in Mesopotamia, All readers familiar with the Poirot mysteries know the setup, . . an seemingly impossible murder is committed, Poirot shows up, asks questions which seem meaningless at the time, and solves the mystery by gathering all the characters in one room and revealing the killer.
But the style never gets old and more often than not, the reader cannot guess the identity of the guilty person.
Sadly, Captain Hastings, Poirot's partner in detection, is not present in these tales,

These three stories may not be the strongest of Christie's Poirot series but they certainly hold interest and have some unusual characters.
And Death on the Nile was good enough to be made into a film,
