The Under Dog and Other Stories By: Agatha Christie

The more I read of Hercule's adventures, whether long form, or in this case, short stories, I realize he is a major putz!  He's a lovely, quirky putz, but a putz none the less.  It's a testament to Dame Christie that she can write a character who can be pompous and annoying, and yet fascinating enough to keep readers coming back for more!
