Not my fav. but a fun little short story. I prefer Christie’s intricately woven plots.

Viscount Cronshaw is found dead at the Victory Ball with a table knife in his heart shortly after fighting with actress Coco Courtenay. Coco herself is later found dead of a cocaine overdose in her bed. Inspector Japp comes to Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings for help untangling the mystery.
A good example of a typical Poirot mystery, keeping all the facts and his observations a secret until the grand reveal before all the people involved with the murder. 4 out of 5.

Just listening to one short story was great. Not like when I was listening to a collection of the short stories one after another. It was nice listening to Poirot solve a quick mystery while I worked out.

Another good Christie read! It is nice to Poirot from the beginning!
