Publisher's Summary

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…

Not the best of Hercules Poirot

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.
