Two recently-rediscovered Hercule Poirot short stories byAgatha Christie, read by David Suchet.In 2004, a remarkable archive was unearthed at Agatha Christie's family home, Greenway – 73 of her private notebooks, filled with pencilled jottings and ideas.

In this first, original version, Poirot is holidaying in Geneva, trying to take his mind off the impending war.
