Enjoyable plot, great read.

The story was essentially made up of three portions, and I was amazed at the way the writer managed to link all three together seamlessly. The sequence, as Poirot says, goes this way: 'If A has a motive to kill B, and C a motive to kill D, does it make sense if A kills D and C kills B?' Read it to understand what it means :O>

A sparkling whodunnit

This is one of Agatha Christie's lesser known murder mysteries, which is surprising given the ingenious plot. The criticism that Christie's characters are generally two-dimensional caricatures cannot be levelled here. The fates and intentions of tragic Rosaleen, misguided Rowley Cloade and ambiguous David Hunter will keep you guessing until the final revelation, which will leave you gasping for breath.
