Agatha Christie's Poirot: Life and Times of Hercule Poirot

Reading Agatha Christie's stories about Hercules Poirot, you wonder about his life & background -- what made him the way he was. Perhaps, like me, you also wondered about Hastings. All is revealed in this well written, informative book. (Many quotes from the various Poirot stories -- makes you want to delve back into them again.)

So said Hercule Poirot, and I have no doubt that he's spoke right. Poirot is the next Sherlock Holmes, perhaps, he's even better than Holmes. Created by the 'Queen of Mystery' Agatha Christie, Poirot became an instant hit all over the world due to his peculiar habits and nature. But there's no denying the fact that he's solved some of the most baffling murders ever. Now, Anne Hart writes the biography of a fictious character, and does it pretty well. With references from all Poirot novels, she traces the little man right from his birth to his last case in which he died before he could solve the case...or so we think. All in all, this book is a great treat for all Poirot fans. Don't miss it!
