At an apparently respectable dinner party, a vicar is the first to die...Thirteen guests arrived at dinner at the actor's house. It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died.But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison - just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive...
Three Act Tragedy, Agatha Christie
La storia si svolge durante un ricevimento nella villa dell'attore Sir Charles Cartwright in Cornovaglia, dove il reverendo Babbington muore improvvisamente dopo aver bevuto un cocktail, seguito poi dalla morte di Sir Bartholomew Strange in circostanze simili, spingendo Poirot ad indagare sui due omicidi collegati. Un giallo classico che dimostra ancora una volta perché Agatha Christie è considerata la Regina del Crimine con una trama avvincente e un finale sorprendente!
