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…
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.
