The Hastings Novels
Hastings narrates the majority of the short stories featuring Poirot, but appears in only eight of the novels, all of which were written before 1940 (except Curtain: Poirot's Last Case). These are as follows:
- The Mysterious Affair at Styles
- Murder on the Links
- The Big Four
- Peril at End House
- The A.B.C. Murders
- Lord Edgware Dies (published in the U.S. as Thirteen at Dinner)
- Dumb Witness
- Curtain: Poirot's Last Case
Hastings is also present in both the play and novelisation of Christie's Black Coffee alongside Poirot.
