Wasps' Nest: a Hercule Poirot Short Story

❖ Review Quickie

❖ Background: I have fond memories watching the Poirot TV show as a young lad and marveling at the locations he visited. One episode in particular, called The Chocolate Box, takes place in Antwerp, Belgium and I knew the second I saw it that I had to visit there someday. Well, mission accomplished. I had never read the short story, so I soaked it all in on my train ride over from Brussels. It was such a lovely place filled with inspiring architecture and splendid people.

❖ Review: The short story itself was fun and incredibly thrilling. It outlines one of Poirot's critical failures as a detective and showcases just how imaginative Agatha Christie was.

Its short and sweet, so give it a go.
