A Hercule Poirot Amuse-Bouche: The Lemesurier Inheritance by Agatha Christie

A.k.a. the one that got away. Yes, friends, this is the *only*
Poirot short story not to be adapted by the ITV series starring
David Suchet. And while it's a bit... out there, we found ourselves
wishing this tale of madness and murder had been adapted in the
earlier, peppier seasons featuring the whole crime-solving gang.
What would Miss Lemon have made of a centuries-old inherited family
curse? What sport would Hastings have been obsessed with as a
side-pursuit? When would Japp and his trench coat have made their
much-needed appearance? How would a car chase have been shoehorned
into the proceedings? The fact that we'll never know just may be
our own curse, but we'll learn to live with it together.
