A festive treat which will delight whoever finds it under the tree this year.

The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding - Paperback
Perfect for the holidays, Agatha Christie encourages you to enjoy this short story collection as an indulgent meal, with "two main courses", "a selection of entrées" and "a sorbet". Poirot must solve a case of a missing ruby, a mysterious Spanish chest and a dead Lord in the Tower. Plus, there's a Miss Marple adventure too, so readers get to enjoy both super sleuths in one book.

Ordeal by Innocence -TV Tie-in Edition
Jacko Argyle, notorious tearaway, died in prison. He had been jailed for his adopted mother's murder. But just two years later, Dr Calgary turns up with proof of Jacko's innocence. This unwelcome news casts suspicion on the rest of the dysfunctional family. Recently adapted for television, starring Bill Nighy, Anna Chancellor, Matthew Goode and Eleanor Tomlinson.

The ABC Murders - TV Tie-in Edition
The story of a shocking serial killer spans the length of the United Kingdom, as murder victims are being picked off alphabetically. How far will Poirot travel to discover the truth? Airing on BBC One this Christmas, starring John Malkovich and Rupert Grint, read it before you watch the show.

Little Grey Cells: The Quotable Poirot - Gift Edition
"Not only is truth stranger than fiction - it is more dramatic." Hercule Poirot

Murder on the Orient Express - Audiobook

Will Poirot be able to solve an ingenious crime that has been committed in time?
