Loading... The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman [short story]by Agatha Christie
![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. Rating: 3.5* of five The Publisher Says: A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook. Dr Hawker receives a distressing call from a dying man who is then found bludgeoned to death in his flat. Poirot and Hastings accompany the doctor to the scene and find the remains of dinner for three, but where have the dining companions gone? My Review: A 99¢ Kindle Single and fifth season episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot. Hastings buys an Italian sports car, Miss Lemon gets an admirer, and Poirot gets a case. All three of these things are causally linked, and in some ugly ways. No one emerges from a brush with organized crime unscathed. It's a very sad story on many levels. The simple outlines of the case are simple: Blackmail, cover-up, murder, more cover-up, and surprisingly little time spent on what the blackmail was all about. But for all that, a tale of the most involving and an episode most pleasurable. Oh good gravy, I'm starting to sound like Poirot.
