Nine of Christie's famous detective's stories, Hercule Poirot learns something about what appears mundane, can turn into cases he can't let go.
I am always amazed by the techniques Christie uses in her mysteries. These were some of the simpler ones (they are short stories) so I wasn't blown away. However, they were interesting for what can be learned about British society. My favorite might be "The Adventures of the Clapham Cook."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Red-Headed League" had some similar elements to the Clapham Cook story.
Susan Elia MacNeal's "Maggie Hope" series are British WWII mysteries.
Ashley Gardner's "Captain Lacey" series are Regency England mysteries. (I didn't like these ones that much, dark and all, but the detailed backgrounds are fascinating).
