The genius of Agatha Christie strikes again! In this story, there are 5 “suspects” from 14 yrs ago- and the indomitable Hercule Poirot issues his “little grey cells” of psychology in human behaviour, to once again to uncover the truth.
This story leaves you guessing all the way through to the glorious perceptive ending. Bravo, Agatha.

This read from historic Ireland times turned out to be a true Gem. It’s a 5-star read about dark situations people find themselves in. It’s a shorter read- and yet has so much intrigue, anticipation, tension, angst that you hold hope for all to end well for everyone-even though you just know it won’t.
