Mr. Poirot: The Tale of Walter Ackroyd
Hercule Poirot meets Mr Men and Little Miss in this new story, written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves. Loosely inspired by The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, but with a clever and funny twist for younger fans.
“Mon Dieu!” cried a man standing in the vegetable plot beside Walter’s home. He was waving another marrow above his head. A head whose face sported a splendid moustache.
