I had 1 day left of my audio subscription and it is so difficult to find things there so...yes I went with Agatha Christie again. Short and nice.




A man found dead in a chest while a party was going on. Oh and he did not attend the party. Who killed him?




Poirot gets interested in the story and solves the case!




Nice and short





Previously published in the print anthology The Adventure of The Christmas Pudding


Major Hastings and Hercule Poirot are not interested in the mystery of the Spanish Chest, which has been reported in the papers so often that it seems to be an entirely closed case. But, when Hastings persuades Poirot to attend a fabulous party given by Lady Chatterton, they discover someone sequestered upstairs who is desperate for their help. Will the contents of a dead man’s pockets reveal to the inscrutable eye of Hercule Poirot who the culprit is?

  3. I love these Agatha Christie short stories! I've listened to a few lately, too. I think they made this into a film too.
