David Suchet and Tom Hiddleston star in Liz Lochhead's powerful adaptation of the classic novel by Bram Stoker.

As he films the final episode, actor David Suchet recalls his experience of playing Agatha Christie's world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, for almost a quarter of a century.

Hercule Poirot, with his distinctive moustache and fastidious ways, is one of Agatha Christie's finest creations and one of the world's best-loved detectives.
Through his television performance in ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot, David Suchet has become inextricably linked with the 'little Belgian', a man whom he has grown to love dearly through an intimate relationship lasting more than twenty years.
In Poirot and Me, he shares his many memories of creating this iconic television series and reflects on what the detective has meant to him over the years.

Many of Poirot's early cases are short stories. With each one, Poirot further proves his reputation as the greatest mind in detective fiction. In "The Plymouth Express," the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat. "Problem at Sea" finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship. "The King of Clubs" involves a prince, his dancer fiancée, and a fiendish bit of blackmail. There are 15 more!

This "Mystery Masters" audiobook includes all the tales, unabridged, from the print book first published in 1974. These gems are alternately read by David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, whose roles as, respectively, Poirot and his sidekick, Captain Hugh Hastings, in PBS's "Mystery!" series and the Arts and Entertainment's "Poirot" series are considered definitive.

Whilst organising a mock murder hunt for the village fete hosted by Sir George and Lady Stubbs, a feeling of dread settles on the famous crime novelist Adriane Oliver. Call it instinct, but it's a feeling she just can't explain...or get away from.
In desperation she summons her old friend, Hercule Poirot -- and her instincts are soon proved correct when the 'pretend' murder victim is discovered playing the scene for real, a rope wrapped tightly around her neck.
But it's the great detective who first discovers that in murder hunts, whether mock or real, everyone is playing a part.

Behold, the publisher's summary, just a little improved!

Poirot receives an unusual request for help from Miss Violet Marsh who was orphaned as a child and went to live with her very peculiar Uncle Andrew. He died almost a month before the Poirot / Marsh meeting, leaving a will with a strange clause. In it he gave instructions that his "clever" niece was allowed to live in his house for one month, and in that time she has to "prove her wits" and find a more recent second will. At the end of that time, if she hasn't, all his worldly goods go to charitable institutions and she will be left with nothing. Her request? Can Poirot help?

Librarian's note: this entry is for the story, "The Case of the Missing Will." Collections of short stories by the author can be found elsewhere on Goodreads. The individual entries for all Poirot short stories can be found by searching Goodreads for: "a Hercule Poirot Short Story."
