Three young women share a London flat. The first is a coolly efficient personal secretary; the second an artist. The third interrupts Hercule Poirot's breakfast of 'Brioche' and 'Chocolat' insisting she is a murderer – and then promptly disappears. Slowly, Poirot learns of the rumours surrounding the mysterious third girl, her family – and her disappearance. Yet hard evidence is needed before the great detective can pronounce her guilty, innocent or insane…

Hercule Poirot among the hippies

Now this one was a treat! One of Christie's finest and I didn't know this before I read it but it was published right before my very fave of hers, Endless Night. And almost thirty years after the one I most recently read, Murder is Easy, which was also great. What a career!

This one has a hippie chick with memory issues, bohemian artists, spies, jealousy, of course a big mansion but also London flats. Just great.

Review of 'Third Girl' on 'Goodreads'

I must say, I really liked this one. In the middle of the book, I thought I had noticed a "vital clue" that had been overlooked. The fact that the numbers were loose on two doors It ended up having absolutely no impact on the story. Oh well, maybe next time.
