Includes 3 Christie murder mysteries.
Sad Cypress- "Life is mapped out for Elinor and Roddy-childhood friends, cousins by marriage, bound for wedlock, and heirs apparent to their wealthy aunt Laura's fortune- until they receive an anonymous letter warning that Aunt Laura may be reconsidering the settlement of her estate. Events spiral out of control as Laura dies suddenly, Roddy falls in love with another woman, and Elinor finds herself charged with murder: Poirot, hired to uncover the truth, discovers that everyone involved with the case has his or her own motive for lying to him."
The Patriotic Murders- "No one could believe that the successful Henry Morley committed suicide, least of all Poirot, who had seen the mild-mannered dentist for a checkup that morning. But who would have killed him- one of his glamorous patients? his hard-drinking partner? his secretary's disgruntled boyfriend? the mysterious Greek who was the last patient to see Morley alive? All Poirot has is a hunch, too many clues, and a killer who is not satisfied with only one victim."
There Is a Tide- "A few chance encounters take Poirot to the sleepy English village of Warmsley Vale to investigate the murder of a mysterious visitor with mischief in mind for some of the village's more prominent residents. What did this stranger know about their past attachments that could influence the disposition of a family fortune? And which one of the villagers was desperate enough to commit murder to keep him silent? As Poirot sifts through the possibilities he begins to wonder whether it is really chance that has brought him to Warmsley Vale."
