Summary of the Books

Lord Edgware Dies

A wealthy actress comes to Hercule Poirot with an odd request: she wants his help in “taking care of” her husband, the famous Lord Edgware. Naturally, Poirot turns the crazy woman away. However, when Lord Edgware is found murdered in a few days, and his wife has a strong alibi, Poirot turns his attention towards this case.

The ABC Murders

Hercule Poirot receives a most curious letter, from a man who challenges him to stop him before he commits a murder. He takes the man for a lunatic, but his worst nightmares come to pass when the man begins an alphabetical murder spree. Serial killer? Hercule Poirot begs to differ.

Dumb Witness

When the only witness to a murder is a dog being blamed for the untimely death of its mistress, Hercule Poirot receives a strange letter from the dead woman. The letter was delayed in its journey, and what the woman had to say to Poirot puts him on the side of the dog.

Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case

When Hercule Poirot returns to Styles with Captain Hastings, he makes a startling announcement. Among the amicable guests at the house, there is a murderer who has escaped justice several times before. Hercule Poirot is determined to stop the man at any cost.
