Please do not combine with "The Regatta Mystery" or The Regatta Mystery and Other Stories.
"The original version of "The Regatta Mystery" featured Hercule Poirot. The story was later rewritten by Christie to change the detective from Poirot to Parker Pyne for book publication. The original Poirot version surfaced again in 2008 as part of the three-volume Harper collection, Agatha Christie: The Complete Short Stories - Masterpieces in Miniature. (The story appears as the postscript to the Poirot volume.)" Wikipedia page
