Three Cases for Poirot

“The little gray cells,” so often referred to by the great detective Hercule Poirot, certainly get in their fine-work in this intriguing mystery story by an exceptionally talented writer.

“The Blue Book” was a popular 20th-century American magazine with a lengthy 70-year run, from 1905 until 1975. It originally began as “The Monthly Story Magazine” until 1906, and was a sister magazine to “The Red Book Magazine” and “The Green Book Magazine.”

In its heyday, it was regarded as one of the “Big Four” best-selling, highest-paying, and most critically-acclaimed pulp magazines. Contributors included some of the most famous writers of fiction, including H. Rider Haggard, Albert Payson Terhune, Zane Grey, Edgar Rice Burroughs, George Eliot, Robert A. Heinlein, Theodore Pratt, Booth Tarkington, Shelby Foote, and of course, Agatha Christie.

All three of the stories in this volume, are from “The Blue Book Magazine” from 1924 and 1925.
