4 stars

Agatha Christie is truly the master of suspense, and Hercule Poirot stands with Sherlock Holmes and Perry Mason as the finest detectives of fiction. In this book, Poirot is tasked with solving a crime that occurred 16 years ago, when Caroline Crale murdered her husband Amyas Crale - only, their daughter does not believe her mother did it. Now she wants Poirot to use his considerable skills to exonerate her mother's name.
