What Season 12 of Agatha Christie's Poirot

Season 12 brings together four stories by Agatha Christie, adapted by ITV and centered on Hercule Poirot, played by David Suchet. The Belgian detective investigates in England in the mid-to-late 1930s, accompanied by Captain Hastings and the efficient Felicity Lemon, two trusted collaborators. The conflict repeats itself: seemingly perfect alibis and elegant lies that conceal a crime. Crime novelist Ariadne Oliver asks for his help at a Halloween party. Later, aboard the Orient Express, Poirot deals with a ruthless American businessman. Colin Lamb, a secret service agent, turns to the detective after crossing paths with Sheila Webb, and the fourth story revolves around a dinner where a cocktail hides a mystery.
