A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.
This electric short story begins in October on the island of Rhodes, a veritable paradise of privacy, beauty and calm, or so Hercule Poirot has imagined. The reality is quite startlingly different; as each woman lies bathing in the bright sun the idyll is disturbed by the arrival of famed Chanel beauty Valentine Chantry and a ripple of malice is felt across the island. Captivated by her wiles and immaculate good looks one young married man falters, closely watched by Valentine’s brooding husband and all before the holidaymakers and the watchful eye of Poirot. Amidst the heady pink gins and close quarters Poirot senses that someone has murder in their heart, and he guesses right. Everything comes to a tragic pinnacle and only Poirot the quiet observer can piece together what has happened within this lover’s triangle.
