Part of Hercule Poirot, book 37
First published 1979
Twelve years after the Ravenscrofts' deaths, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver remains haunted by the case. With fingerprints on the gun and no clear killer, the couple's fate is a puzzle she can't solve. Oliver turns to the aging Hercule Poirot, whose brilliant mind can still unravel the most tangled crimes. As the duo digs into the long-closed investigation, they uncover a startling discovery - one that forces them to confront the echoes of the past and the twisted nature of memory itself.
