A classic detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring the celebrated detective Hercule Poirot. The story begins at a dinner party hosted by the famous actor Sir Charles Cartwright, where a seemingly natural death raises little suspicion. However, when a second death occurs under similar circumstances, it becomes clear that a murderer is at work.

Poirot joins forces with Sir Charles and his friends to unravel a cleverly constructed mystery involving deception, hidden motives, and carefully planned crimes. As the investigation progresses, the truth proves far more surprising than anyone expects.
