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.
After lunch Poirot begged me to accompany him home. I consented rather sttifly.
"You are annoyed, is it not so?” he asked anxiously, as we walked through the park.
“Not at all, " I said coldly.
“That is well. That lifts a great load from my mind.”
This was not quite what I had intended. I had hoped that he would have observed the stiffness of my manner. Still, the fervour of his words went towards the appeasing of my just displeasure. I thawed. (查看原文)

无良剧透一下：Evelyn Howard 和Alfred Inglethorp是凶手。

最早的Marple小说一股浓浓的Poirot味，最早的Poirot小说一股浓浓的福尔摩斯味。波洛靠的是各种各样的痕迹破案，而非后来的小说里面靠人物关系破案。

Poirot先生真可爱！“The happiness of one man and one woman is the greatest thing in all the world.”比福尔摩斯可爱多了。

1920 波罗老爹和黑斯廷上校的第一次登场。黑斯廷上校不能更萌了~

阿婆的处女作，比利时小个子侦探波洛先生初登场，还有他忠诚而又愚蠢的朋友黑斯廷斯常伴左右，故事本身还不错，阿婆本身词汇量太惊人了，各种熟词僻义俚语短句张口就来，看多了畅销小说来看阿婆的书真的是暴击。

Poirot太有魅力了~后附的两个结尾版本，第一个版本的反转效果更胜一筹，之前所有看似放置的小细节全部串起来的感觉特别舒服。另外，这个版本别去买kindle的，paperback里信件、字条、平面图的关键插图kindle版本里一概缺失，严重阻碍对剧情的理解。
