The definitive combined guide to the novels, short stories, films, and television appearances of POIROT, now revised and updated.

‘My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.’

The well-dressed, mustachioed, egg-headed Belgian detective, with odd habits and excessive regard for his "little grey cells," has solved some of the most complex crimes of the century. Though known to millions, Poirot remains an enigma – until now.

From his first appearance in 1920 to his last in 1975, from drawing rooms of country houses to opium dens in Limehouse, Anne Hart follows the legendary detective, uncovering the secrets surrounding him. Examining 33 novels and 56 short stories, she analyzes his origins, tastes, relationships, and quirks, revealing a character as fascinating as the books themselves.

This new edition has been updated to include new information on original publication dates, newspaper and magazine serials, as well as updated lists of films, television productions, radio and theater adaptations (including David Suchet, Kenneth Branagh, John Malkovich, Tom Conti, and Robert Powell).
