Summary

Lady Athelinda Playford has planned a house party at her mansion in Clonakilty, County Cork. As the guests arrive, she summons her lawyer to make an urgent change to her will - one she intends to announce at dinner that night. She has decided to cut off her two children without a penny. Among her guests are two men she has never met - the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, and Inspector Edward Catchpool of Scotland Yard. Neither knows why he has been invited, until Poirot starts to wonder if Lady Playford expects a murderer to strike. When the crime is committed in spite of Poirot's best efforts to prevent it, and the victim is not who he expected it to be, will he be able to find the culprit and solve the mystery?
