When Mrs. Inglethorp is murdered, Poirot uses his detective skills to solve the mystery.

This first mystery novel by Agatha Christie was well received by reviewers in the UK and the US at initial publication An analysis in 1990 was positive about the plot, considered the novel one of the few by Christie that is well-anchored in time and place, a story that knows it describes the end of an era, and mentions that the plot is clever.
