With his sparkling eyes, egg-shaped head, waxed mustache, and waspish manner, Hercule Poirot seems too dandified to discover whodunit. But in this lively collection he jauntily jettisons false leads and red herrings to unmask three killers. In The Under Dog, Sir Reuben Astwell has been bludgeoned to death in the tower room of his mansion, and his nephew Charles stands accused. As always, Poirot discovers a web of deceit before calmly fingering the murderer. In The Dream, an eccentric millionaire who requests Poirots help in deciphering a violent dream turns up dead. Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds has Poirot investigating a man whose demise seems curiously linked to a deviation in his eating habits. The Poirot stories were named Best Mystery Series of the Century at the Bouchercon Mystery Writers Convention./p
