A series of seemingly innocuous items disappear from a student rooming house. Enter Poirot! Beneath this pile or rubble there are several connections that lead the police and Poirot to unravel several murders and to discover a vast smuggling operation. The police fare far better in this one than in most of Aunties mysteries. It also has one of her better plots and sequence of events that leads to the denouement.
