Three Act Tragedy By Agatha Christie

Who wouldn’t look forward to a small dinner party hosted by Sir Charles Cartwright, a former leading figure of the London stage, at his "Crow’s Nest" residence in Loomouth, Cornwall? Thirteen guests gathered that evening, including a vicar, which turned out to be especially unfortunate. The mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington suffered a sudden convulsive death after choking on his cocktail. However, analysis of his martini glass revealed no poison, just as the astute Hercule Poirot, also present, had anticipated. What perplexed the great detective even more was the complete absence of any apparent motive.
