2. “The Incredible Theft”: In this story, a British diplomat’s briefcase is stolen, and the contents are suspected to be crucial to national security. Poirot must find the thief and recover the stolen documents.
3. “Dead Man’s Mirror”: Poirot is invited to investigate a murder disguised as suicide, which takes place at a country house filled with valuable antiques and paintings.
4. “Triangle at Rhodes”: While on vacation in Rhodes, Poirot is drawn into a case involving a love triangle, a stolen diamond, and a murder.
As with many of Agatha Christie’s works, “Murder in the Mews” features intricate plotting, clever clues, and Poirot’s brilliant deductive reasoning. Each story offers a standalone mystery to be solved, making it an engaging collection for fans of classic detective fiction and Agatha Christie’s writing.
