Quick recap

Four novellas, longer than short stories and shorter than novels. In Murder in the Mews, a woman is found dead on Guy Fawkes Night, and the suicide doesn't convince Japp or Poirot. In The Incredible Theft, secret military plans vanish during a country-house weekend. In Dead Man's Mirror, a vain aristocrat summons Poirot and is found dead, with the study mirror shattered. In Triangle at Rhodes, Poirot, on holiday on a Greek island, watches two couples and foresees a tragedy he can't stop. Each case wraps up on its own.
