Agatha Christie's ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed. Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches. Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed. Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick's sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn't been committed. Yet.
A good solid Agatha Christie (Poirot tale). I don't have much to add other than this is quite good, entertaining and fun.
Wow. Whatever you say about this book, the ending was completely unexpected.
Looks like Poirot is getting older, but still a great book. Agatha Christie knows how to deceive people :)
