Hercule Poirot receives a letter begging him to travel to Merlinville-sur-Mer immediately. The writer of the letter, millionaire Monsieur Renauld, is worried about something that he doesn't do more than allude to & Poirot's curiosity is piqued. When Poirot & Hastings arrive at the Renaulds' estate, they are shocked to hear that their mysterious letter writer was murdered the night before. (continued)
I have a mix of emotions about this one. The mystery itself was good, well thought out & intriguing, but Hastings ruined it. I seriously wanted to throttle him - I don't know how Poirot kept his cool. (edited) 3mo
