For Gods sake, come! Unfortunately, by the time Hercule Poirot received Monsieur Renaulds urgent plea, the millionaire was already dead-stabbed in the back, lying in a freshly dug grave on the golf course of his adjoining Merlinville estate. Theres no lack of suspects: his wife, whose dagger served as the weapon; his embittered son, who would have killed for independence; and his mistress, who refused to be ignored-and each felt deserving of the dead mans fortune. The police think theyve found the culprit. Poirot has his doubts. A second murder proves him right. A remarkably good detective story. -The New York Times The plot is clever [and] the suspense is well kept up. What more need one ask of a detective story? -Literary Review
