CRIME & MYSTERY. With impeccable timing Hercule Poirot, the renowned Belgian detective, makes his dramatic entrance on to the English crime stage. Recently, there had been some strange goings on at Styles St Mary. Evelyn, constant companion to old Mrs Inglethorp, had stormed out of the house muttering something about 'a lot of sharks'. And with her, something indefinable had gone from the atmosphere. Her presence had spelt security; now the air seemed rife with suspicion and impending evil. A shattered coffee cup, a splash of candle grease, a bed of begonias. all Poirot required to display his now legendary powers of detection.

Fun re-reading this story.
I probably read it in French long time ago in my Agatha Christie period. I don't think I read all of them but probably every one in my local library at that time.
Also, so many TV and series adaptations have been watched on lazy weekends.

I didn't remember Hastings being such a simpleton. I guess the naive narrator style gives the charm to the novel.

Ενδιαφέρουσα ιστορία. Καθώς χρησιμοποιούνται στοιχεία που δεν είναι δυνατό να γνωρίζει ο αναγνώστης, δε μπορεί να προσπαθήσει να «εξιχνιάσει» το φόνο, ωστόσο είναι στο κλασσικό στυλ των ιστοριών που αγαπάμε.
