The book which gave fictional birth to Hercule Poirot, the world famous Belgian detective. Incredible really, how wonderfully assured it is, for a debut novel. Although even this is not as it seems, for Wiki reveals that Agatha's first six novels wer ...more

A quick read, just for fun. A bit silly really, with schoolboys flying Sopwith Camels on the western front, but a lovely modern paperback edition and no harm done.
