It seems that no matter how hard he tries, Poirot never quite gets a holiday. Not even in Devon where - of course - a murdered woman is found among the scantily clad sunbathers. It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun… she had been strangled. Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether? -

Mrs Nicoletis, grasping and sly, runs a students' hostel. An outbreak of kleptomania at the hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot’s interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items – including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup – he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a ‘unique and beautiful problem’. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened? Miss Lemon, his secretary, functions like a formidable machine - never ill, never tired, never inaccurate. So when Poirot finds three mistakes in one of her letters, he knows something is amiss. Then comes murder number one... -

And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later – when the colonel was found shot dead in the clergyman’s study. But as Miss Marple soon discovers, the whole village seems to have had a motive to kill Colonel Protheroe. Cover art by Tom Adams. -
