A classic work of Golden Age detective fiction, Murder in the Mews presents four masterfully crafted novellas in which the legendary Hercule Poirot applies his celebrated little grey cells to a quartet of baffling crimes. The title story opens on Guy Fawkes Night, when the noise of fireworks provides the perfect cover for what appears to be a suicide — but Poirot swiftly uncovers a cunning murder staged to deceive Scotland Yard. Each subsequent tale — The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror, and Triangle at Rhodes — chronicles a distinct puzzle of deception, jealousy, and hidden motive, showcasing Christie's unrivaled ability to construct airtight plots with elegant misdirection. The tone throughout is cool and precise, balancing drawing-room wit with genuine menace, as Poirot dissects the lies of suspects who consistently underestimate him. This collection stands as a superb showcase of Christie's short-form storytelling at its most inventive and satisfying.
