Publisher Description

Following an otherwise-enjoyable literary luncheon, the celebrated crime novelist Ariadne Oliver is accosted by a particularly formidable woman who engages her in conversation about one of her many god-daughters, whom Ariadne hasn't seen since she was a child. She lands a bombshell with the question 'What I want to know is this: did her mother kill her father, or was it the father who killed the mother?'

Affronted and bewildered by the assertiveness of this pushy busybody, Ariadne is nevertheless intrigued. There's only one thing for it. She must contact her old friend Hercule Poirot. Together they set about unravelling the mystery of a tragedy from the distant past - provoked in equal measure by hate and love.

As always, John Moffatt stars as Hercule Poirot, while Julia McKenzie stars as Ariadne Oliver - whom Agatha Christie based on herself.

"Seperti karya Agatha Christie yang lain yang memang keren. Cerita ini lebih berkisar soal 'ketidak-sengajaan' Ms. Oliver dalam menemukan poin-poin penting dalam pemecahan kasus. Salah satu novel Agatha Christie, yang membuat aku ngerasa Monsiur Poirot cocok dan serasi ama Ms. Oliver. Benar ga?"

    " I know that towards the end of her career Christie got tired of her main character (Poirot) and started to diversify as much as possible. However, I still don't like Ariadne Oliver and I never understood why Christie preferred her to Poirot. Ariadne gets the most words in this novel and Poirot is relegated to a sidekick. "

    " Another charming story. It started off slow with lots of repitition of already known facts but picked up speed toward the middle and ended with an interesting twist. "

    " Particularly pointless Poirot mystery. I believe the story could have worked, even though it includes an evil twin. But the characters and events of the investigation were very sloppy and unconvincing. I've got to stop reading just anything by Agatha Christie. "

    " In this book I knew part of the ending, but not the whole thing. I dont know how Hercule Poirot figured it out. Other than the fact that he's not real. I loved the last sentence. "Elephants can remember, but luckily we are humans, who can forget." That isn't word for word the right thing, but it was along those lines. It was a cute way to end it. This book was like a fairy tale in that everything worked out splendidly in the end. The "evil" plan was foiled, they found love, the truth was discovered. This wasn't my favorite Agatha Christie, but it was a good one. "

    " I'm not really a fan of Adriane Oliver, but she and Poirot work very well together, for all that. Gallant Poirot and fussy Mrs Oliver do make a rather interesting team. "

    " Well....to say one thing ..She was damn obsessed with those elephants (I donno why it was that necessary). The plot was not good and she kept on bragging about unnecessary things...more than 3 quarters of the book did not mean anything to the plot or me :P. A disappointing work by Agatha !! "

    " This was probably my least favourite Christie read of recent times, though that being said I still enjoyed it. Some parts however were too repetitive and dragged, which I found unusual for a Christie novel. However, loved reading about Ariadne Oliver again! She's one of my favourites! "
