Klassinen Neiti Marple -mysteeri vuodelta 1953Sinä aamuna oli neiti Somersin, uuden konekirjoittajan, vuoro keittää tee. Sen tarjoili herra Fortescuelle viehättävä "yksityissihteeri" neiti Grosvenor. Neiti Griffith, konekirjoitusosaston rautainen esinainen, puolestaan valvoi firman teeseremonian sujuvan asianmukaisesti. Niinpä useammalla kuin yhdellä henkilöllä näytti olleen tilaisuus tiputtaa myrkkyä esimiehen teekuppiin. Ruumiin vaatteiden taskuista löytyivät ne tavalliset tavarat: nenäliina, avaimet, lompakko ja pikkurahaa. Ja sitten jotakin kerrassaan omituista. Rex Fortescuen takin oikeanpuoleisessa taskussa oli viljaa.

The sun shines. The sea is blue. But you forget, there is evil everywhere under the sun.’ It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun… she had been strangled. Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?

The Times Literary Supplement Muy pocos autores logran la combinaci n ideal de rompecabezas y entretenimientocomo lo hace Agatha Christie. The Guardian ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Hercule Poirot must solve a perplexing case of midair murder when he discovers that the woman in seat two of the airborne aeroplane he's traveling on is quite unexpectedly--and unnaturally--deceased. From seat No. 9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers on the short flight from Paris to London. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No. 13, sat a countess with a poorly concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No. 8, a writer of detective fiction was being troubled by an aggressive wasp. Yes, Poirot is almost ideally placed to take it all in, except what he did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No. 2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman. Murdered, and likely by someone in Poirot's immediate proximity.
