Thirteen at Dinner

I am collecting all the Agatha Christie novels and short stories. I've read every one of hers at least 3 times, but....

I have "Thirteen at Dinner" printed in 1933 but cannot find it on the Agatha Christie list.  Did it have a different name in the UK. Many titles were different in the US.

It says it is a Poirot story.

In fact, And Then There Were None had several titles, among them "Ten Little Indians."

Thirteen at Dinner is the U.S. title for the book Lord Edgware Dies (U.K.) title. As for the response about 13 at Dinner being Sparkling Cyanide, these are two different books. However, Sparkling Cyanide had an alternate title of Remembered Death.
