Notes

Murder in the Mews by Agatha Christie, first published in 1937, is a collection of four intriguing short stories featuring the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The title story centers on the mysterious death of a woman found in her London flat on Guy Fawkes Night, initially appearing as a suicide but soon revealed to be a cleverly staged murder. Poirot uses his trademark logic and attention to detail to untangle a web of deceit involving love affairs, blackmail, and hidden motives. The collection also includes The Incredible Theft, involving espionage and a missing top-secret military plan; Dead Man’s Mirror, a classic country house mystery with a fatal shooting; and Triangle at Rhodes, where Poirot's holiday turns deadly amidst a romantic entanglement. Each story showcases Christie’s mastery of plot twists and Poirot’s brilliant deductive reasoning.
