Murder in the Mews - Agatha Christie ... four novellas - Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror and Triangle at Rhodes. How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secert military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And who destroyed the 'eternal triangle' of love involving renowned beauty, Valentine Chantry? Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases -- Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror and Triangle at Rhodes -- each a miniature classic of characterisation, incident and suspense. To mark the 80th anniversary of Hercule Poirot's first appearance, and to celebrate his renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this title in a collection of facsimile first editions is the perfect way to experience Agatha Christie. Reproducing the original typesetting and format of the first edition from the Christie family's own archive, this book sports the original cover which has been painstakingly restored to its original glory.

 ... "Murder in the Mews" are very limited in number, with only one or two having any depth to them. The primary personality, besides Poirot and Japp, is that of Jane Plenderleith, the flatmate of Barbara Allen. As the story progresses we are placed in the position of considering her as a suspect, her seemingly tightly controlled demeanour being one possible case against her. She exhibits a calmness and a professionalism when speaking to Poirot and Japp which suggests she may be trying to hide something. By doing so Chris...more

In this quartet of novellas, which commence with "Murder in the Mews" Christie takes the reader upon a varied journey in which a wide variety of human emotions and actions have significant effects upon the lives of the characters. From the pathos-filled title story, through to the fairly light hearted "The Incredible Theft" and carrying on to the seemingly clear cut case of "Dead Man's Mirror, before concluding with the chilling "Triangle at Rhodes" Christie reveals the extent of her talents and presents a collection in which Poirot's abilities will be tested to the upmost.

Main idea is interesting, although this is let down in execution. Poorly plotted & developed. Contrived motive & ending.

Fairly well written with enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested Some plot holes

Quite light and easy to read, a couple of very good stories Majority rather lack lustre and unoriginal

Fairly entertaining. Some plotholes and fillers
