A mystery by the master of Golden Age Detective fiction. Poirot and Hastings are vacationing at the Grand Metropolitan Hotel when they meet the Opalsen's. Mrs. Opalsen owns an amazing string of pearls and offers to show them to Poirot, but when she goes to get them they have been stolen from a room in which the maid never left. Poirot must recover the necklace. Christie fans will not be disappointed.

Embora eu considere Poirot muito cheio de si, quase arrogante, tenho de admitir que seu cérebro realmente funciona. Muito bom.

This was a pretty straightforward case and one of the few Poirot stories that I guessed the endings to almost right away. But that is more based on the fact that the premise has been used a lot for other stories since this one was published. Still a good story.
