Description:
Brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot cracks the toughest cases with brainpower alone, endearing him to thinkers everywhere and making Agatha Christie the bestselling author of her day. As portrayed by DAVID SUCHET in this British television production, Poirot became the most-watched detective in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and a hit all over again on A&E. In these three stories, Poirot outsmarts both the criminals and the other crime-solvers in and around elegant upper-crust 1930s London.
Murder in the Mews—On Guy Fawkes Night, Poirot is called in on a case he suspects is murder made to look like suicide.
The Adventure of Johnnie Wavery—A country squire hires Poirot to investigate threats against his young son.
Four and Twenty Blackbirds—Poirot’s keen powers of observation and culinary know-how help him solve a murder case.

Amazon.com:
A suspicious suicide, a well-staged kidnapping, and a fatal fall--none of these are what they appear to be in this three-tape installment of episodes from the Agatha Christie's Poirot series. While true collectors will devour the whole set, newcomers to the series will appreciate 'Murder in the Mews.' This plot of murder made to look like suicide has as many twists as an intricate Celtic knot and keeps the viewer guessing both whodunit and why until the final moments--it's tempting to watch this one a second time as soon as it's over. Unfortunately, 'The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly' and 'Four and Twenty Blackbirds' have motives so obvious, it's almost tedious to wait an hour for these cases to be solved. Of course, David Suchet's performance as the Belgian detective holds up through all three episodes, and Hugh Fraser is marvelously dim as Poirot's affable companion, Captain Hastings. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
