Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments Hi PIs!

Okay, the four stories we'll read for August are:

The Market Basing Mystery - 8/5
The Girdle of Hyppolyta (one of the Labours of Hercules) - 8/12
The Lemesurier Inheritance - 8/19
The Adventure of the Clapham Cook (excited about this one as it was the first Poirot/Suchet episode!) - 8/26

We'll stick with Mark's Sunday discussion format if that's okay with everyone. Also, if you have any trouble finding any of the stories speak up and I can change them!

Nicole :-)

I love the Clapham Cook movie version. Not sure I ever read the story. Will look for the listed HP's. Thanks, Nicole.

PugMom (nicoleg76) | 2014 comments I saw the collection at B&N so I might pick it up. If not the library should have it.

Kindle wants $12.xx for e-copy. I'm looking for something a little more economical. :-)

The Market Basing Mystery is in The Underdog and Other Stories, in my collection. I haven't looked up the others yet.

Nicole (nicolevickers) | 1814 comments Hi everyone! Just checking - who's on board with starting the Market Basing discussion tomorrow? Would you like me to change any of the stories or are they all acceptable?

PugMom (nicoleg76) | 2014 comments I’m heading out today to find the book! I’ll be joining the discussion as soon as I can!


LovesMysteries  | 327 comments I'm sorry I haven't been participating in this group as much as I would love to. Been very busy as of late but I hope to join back in to the group sometime soon this year -- hopefully, we'll return back to reading some more Poirot short stories as well!

That's okay, I'm always ready to read Poirot!
