In 2014 the estate of Creator/AgathaChristie authorised Creator/SophieHannah to write new stories featuring Franchise/HerculePoirot. So far there are four instalments in the series:
* ''The Monogram Murders'' (2014)
* ''Closed Casket'' (2016)
* ''The Mystery of Three Quarters'' (2018)
* ''The Killings at Kingfisher Hill'' (2020)
All the novels focus on Poirot, assisted by Edward Catchpool from Scotland Yard, investigating murders.
!!Contains examples of:
* AmbiguouslyGay: Edward Catchpool is uninterested in women, romance or marriage. He also never shows any interest in men. It's ambiguous if he's gay or [[{{Asexuality}} ace]].
* ClearMyName: ''The Mystery of Three Quarters'' starts with people coming to complain to Poirot because they received letters, supposedly from him, accusing them of murder. All of them insist they aren't guilty of murder. Poirot knows he isn't guilty of writing the letters. He starts to investigate the death of Mr. Pandy to clear his name and find who the real murderer is.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: The accused [[spoiler: and actual]] killer in ''The Killings at Kingfisher Hill'' claims to have murdered her fiancé because she fell in love with his brother.
* NeverTheObviousSuspect: Inverted in ''The Killings at Kingfisher Hill''. The killer is [[spoiler: the woman who was arrested for the murder and who everyone thought was guilty]].
* OddballInTheSeries: ''The Mystery of Three Quarters'' is unusual because it starts, not with a murder, but with Poirot being framed for accusing people of a murder. For half of the book Poirot is also unsure if there ''was'' any murder, as the victim is believed to have died naturally.
* ShoutOut:
** ''Closed Casket'' frequently references Shakespeare's ''Theatre/KingJohn''. A line from the play helps Poirot solve the mystery.
** Little Key, the house in ''The Killings at Kingfisher Hill'', is named after a quote by Creator/CharlesDickens.
