The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan: A Short Story

Not a bad short story, the crime and solving were interesting enough, however it was hurt by being what it is—short. I liked the idea that Poirot is so well established now that even when Hastings takes him on a weekend get away he's immediately recognized and needed to solve a crime. Also, I'm pretty sure Christie remarks that Hastings “knows nothing” in every single short story she writes.

Captain Hastings is the precursor to Jon Snow
