Clearly early stories. Fun enough (and the audiobook was lovely), but pretty insubstantial.
Personally, I don't usually pick up a book with a collection of short stories and I was pleasantly surprised that I was really enjoying this one.
I have the version of the book that includes 14 stories. They aren't all about solving a murder case but there are other mysteries that you get to solve with Poirot and Hastings. The variety of cases make it enjoyable to read. I'm sure you can read them all in one sitting but I quite like the idea of reading about a "full" case before I sleep.

all the short stories are quite ingenious and interesting to read in this book.. supreme detection skills of Monsieur Hercule Poirot on display as usual.. the little grey cells work wonderfully as ever..!!
This was a good read as far as short stories are concerned, but I would rather be reading a full novel. As the stories were so short, I found I really didn't have time to consider the puzzles before the end of them were revealed.
