UK publication: 1974 (Collins)
US publication: 1974 (Dodd, Mead)

Plot summary and comments: Christie was now so frail that her publishers doubted whether she could complete another novel; in its place, they reissued 18 short stories about Poirot, 14 narrated by Hastings, which had been originally published between 1923 and 1936. Most had not been collected in the UK, but all had appeared in the US. Titles: The Lost Mine (narrated by Poirot to Hastings); The Chocolate Box (Poirot's only 'failure'); The Veiled Lady (these three from the US edition of Poirot Investigates); How Does Your Garden Grow and Problem at Sea (from The Regatta Mystery; neither with Hastings); The Third-Floor Flat and The Adventure of Johnnie Waverley (from Three Blind Mice); Double Sin; The Double Clue; Wasps' Nest (from Double Sin); The Market Basing Mystery; The Lemesurier Inheritance; The Cornish Mystery; The Adventure of the Clapham Cook; The King of Clubs; The Submarine Plans; The Plymouth Express; The Affair at the Victory Ball (all from The Under Dog). "The Market Basing Mystery" and "The Veiled Lady" had been published in Britain in 1966 in Thirteen for Luck.
