The Veiled Lady: A Short Story (Hercule Poirot)
by
by
A hot chick wearing a veil walks into a bar...
How do you know she's hot, my rotund Belgian friend?
Shut up.
My mustache gives my little grey cells super-deduction skills.
Ok, not a bar. She walks into Poirot's house and hires him to try to retrieve a scandalous letter from a blackmailer.
Always burn the letters, ladies!
In traditional Agatha Christie style, Hercule solves the case by checking out a kitchen, & noticing that someone's shoes are janked up...
Because realistic!
Honestly, this was too short to be very good. The plot was thin, and the solution was thinner.
BUT.
If you're looking for a small dose of Aggie to tide you over between her full-sized novels, then this shorty might fit the bill.

Hahaha! Yeah. Those damn shoes...
Hahahaha!Always burn the letters, ladies!
...and the pictures, tapes, security footage....
Yeeeees. See? We know this stuff inside and out...
You can't have those shoes. Bad shoes! BAD!
But but but ... that's exactly why I want them!
That kitten almost moves me enough to give you the shoes. Almost.
Is that a challenge?! *rubs hands together*
Your anger management reviews skills are improving. I like all that stored grumpy energy. It's captivating. I like! High five!Igor

And if that isn't enough,
Have you read the Poirot that is set at Christmas, Anne?

Who is that girl in the top photo?? Also that poor sandal-kitty.... it scares me. Too easy to squish! Like Tiny Cat.... *horrified noises*
I'm sure the cat will be big by the time sandal weather comes again.
Ha! His mustache! Got to love the Stache!

Forget those black shows - I want the ginger kitten (with or without the sandal). <3
The sandal does look comfortable, although nowhere as cute as the kitten.
Miriam wrote: "The sandal does look comfortable, although nowhere as cute as the kitten."o.O I think you and I have very different taste in shoes. *lol*
Any shoe that is soft enough to sleep on sounds good to me!
The short story is not as good as a full novel
Stuff of nightmares, that.
