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.

Famous quotes containing the words hastings and/or novels:
“If you can’t get a job as a pianist in a brothel you become a royal reporter.”
—Max Hastings (b. 1945)
“Fathers and Sons is not only the best of Turgenev’s novels, it is one of the most brilliant novels of the nineteenth century. Turgenev managed to do what he intended to do, to create a male character, a young Russian, who would affirm his—that character’s—absence of introspection and at the same time would not be a journalist’s dummy of the socialistic type.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
