Robert M. (shotokanchef) reviewed on 9/30/2011 + 813 more book reviews

A young lady hates her stepmother. What else in English literature could be more appropriate! But, in this case, she is deluded to thinking that she has murdered someone, or at least attempted to murder said stepmother. After meeting Poirot she declines his help. Then, she disappears and Poirot works himself into the case. But, he can uncover no murder. After a rather rambling and convoluted tale, and the arrest of the culprit, we are treated to a detailed explanation of how it was all perpetrated. Oh yes, there was a murder that, true to form, was determined a suicide (but we know better), and a follow on murder as well (There are always at least two.).
