About this listen

A dinner party thrown by theatre actor Sir Charles Cartwright at his home in Cornwall ends in tragedy…

Thirteen guests arrived at dinner at the actor’s house. It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died.

But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison – just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive…

Critic Reviews

"Makes uncommonly good reading." (New York Times)

All stars

I am a fan of Agatha Christie's writing but this particular one felt missing the usual mark of her fantastic crime fiction writing. I am not able to put my finger on a thing which is missing, but there's something which is not quite right about this book.

However, it's not bad that you should steer clear from this one. Do read it.

Not the best of Hercules Poirot
