Synopsis

An urgent cry for help brings Hercule Poirot to France. But he arrives too late to save his client whose brutally stabbed body now lies facedown in a shallow grave on a golf course. But why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And for whom was the impassioned love letter in the pocket of the overcoat? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically murdered corpse …?

About this title

About the Author:

Agatha Christie was born in 1890 and created the detective Hercule Poirot in her debut novel, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" (1920). She achieved wide popularity with "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" (1926) and produced a total of eighty novels and short-story collections over six decades. Twenty-four of Christie's best whodunits are now available from Black Dog & Leventhal as part of their bestselling hardcover Agatha Christie Collection.

From AudioFile:

Agatha Christie intrigues us once again with a murder needing to be solved and Hercule Poirot most inauspiciously making inquires at the scene. Narrator Roe Kendall takes on various roles in this drama in which Monsieur Renauld dies playing golf. The many chararcters and subplots remain vocally well organized, but Kendall's attempt at foreign accents, which enliven a Christie story, especially one featuring Poirot, falls a bit flat.
