But the sixth is found dead in the chest. "The Mystery of the Spanish Chest": Six people are invited to an evening party which is held in a room with a large Spanish chest against the wall. Next morning there is a body on the lawn and much for Poirot to unravel. But an unexpected surprise is found in it. Poirot and all the household indulge in the pudding with no ill effects. The plum pudding has a secret and Poirot receives a warning:ĭON'T EAT NONE OF THE PLUM PUDDING. The trail leads to a classic English country house where Poirot takes part in the festivities of an old-fashioned English Christmas-plum pudding and all. "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding": Hercule Poirot is asked by an emissary of a foreign prince to investigate the theft of a priceless ruby. A good short collection with some of the best stories from other collections I've already read. The title story is the only one which is holiday-themed, though food and drink do feature in a couple more. This collection features six stories-five with Hercule Poirot and one with Miss Jane Marple.
