Sophie Hannah - A ​Kingfisher Hill-i gyilkosságok
Hercule ​Poirot levelet kap a Kingfisher Hill egyik fényűző villájában élő Richard Devonporttól. A fiatalember arra kéri a mesterdetektívet, hogy mentse meg halálra ítélt menyasszonyát, aki beismerte, hogy megölte Richard bátyját, Franket. Poirot-nak több rejtéllyel is szembe kell néznie: egy ismeretlen ifjú hölgy bevall neki egy gyilkosságot, egy másik, zavart viselkedésű nő pedig azt állítja, hogy az élete veszélyben forog. A nyomozó ez alkalommal is Catchpool felügyelővel az oldalán igyekszik megválaszolni az egyre szaporodó kérdéseket. Ki ölte meg Franket? És miért kellett meghalnia? Kit ölhetett meg az ismeretlen ifjú hölgy? Milyen szerepe van a bűnügyben az Éjféli találkozó című regénynek? A rejtélyek megoldásához Poirot-nak igencsak meg kell dolgoztatnia a kis szürke agysejtjeit...

Sophie Hannah - A ​háromnegyed rejtélye
Hercule ​Poirot ebéd után hazatérvén egy feldúlt hölgyet talál az ajtaja előtt, aki dühösen kérdőre vonja: miért írt neki levelet, azzal vádolva, hogy megölt egy bizonyos Barnabas Pandyt, akiről ő soha életében nem hallott? Erről a Barnabasról Poirot sem hallott még soha, és soha eszébe nem jutott volna, hogy egy levélben vádoljon bárkit is gyilkossággal. A nyomozó még jobban elcsodálkozik, amikor lakásában egy idegen férfit talál, aki azt állítja, aznap reggel levelet kapott tőle. És persze őt is Barnabas Pandy meggyilkolásával vádolta meg benne. Hány levél lehet még? Ki küldte őket és miért? És főleg: ki a csoda ez a Barnabas Pandy? Él-e még? Vagy valóban meggyilkolták? Csodás nyomoznivaló egy mesterdetektív számára!

Sophie Hannah - A ​zárt koporsó
Lady ​Playford, a detektívregényeiről híres gyerekkönyvíró váratlanul írországi kastélyába hívja az egész családját és két nyomozót: a neves Hercule Poirot-t és angol barátját, Edward Catchpoolt. A meghívottak között a család két ügyvédje is szerepel – vacsora közben ugyanis Lady Playford komoly bejelentést tesz a végrendeletét illetően. Hatalmas vagyonának új várományosa egyből a figyelem középpontjába és a hoppon maradt korábbi örökösök kereszttüzébe kerül. A kastély fölbolydul, és az éjszaka folyamán brutális gyilkosság történik, amelynek az egyik alkalmazott a szemtanúja lesz. Az indíték egyértelműnek tűnik, a gyanúsítottnak viszont alibije van. A gyilkosság meghökkentő és értelmetlennek látszó körülményei azonban egyre rejtélyesebbé teszik a bűntényt, mely komoly kihívást jelent még a rutinos Poirot-nak is.
