Double Sin And Other Stories By Agatha Christie

Prologue: I had called in at my friend Poirot’s rooms to find him sadly overworked. So much had he become the rage that every rich woman who had mislaid a bracelet or lost a pet kitten rushed to secure the services of the great Hercule Poirot. My little friend was a strange mixture of Flemish thrift and artistic fervour. He accepted many cases in which he had little interest owing to the first instinct being predominant. He also undertook cases in which there was a little or no monetary reward sheerly because the problem involved interested him. The result was that, as I say, he was overworking himself. He admitted as much himself, and I found little difficulty in persuading him to accompany me for a week’s holiday to that well-known South Coast resort, Ebermouth. We had spent four very agreeable days when Poirot came to me, an open letter in his hand. “Mon ami, you remember my friend Joseph Aarons, the theatrical agent?” I assented after a moment’s thought. Poirot’s friends are so many and so varied, and range from dustmen to dukes.
