Publisher Description

An exclusive hotel on a tiny picturesque island seems to be the ideal retreat for Hercule Poirot from the stresses of criminal detection. But with the appearance of the beautiful Arlena Stuart, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere becomes charged with an indefinable erotic tension. And when she is found viciously strangled in a secluded cove, there are few, especially among the women, who seem to feel either surprise or regret.

As Poirot follows a twisting path of bizarre and bewildering clues, his only certainties are that the solution lies within Arlena herself, and that there is evil under the sun.

John Moffat is Hercule Poirot in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation with an all-star cast which includes Iain Glen, Fiona Fullerton, Robin Ellis, Wendy Craig, George Baker and Joan Littlewood.

"One of the best Hercule Poirot mysteries, with all the trimmings: a seaside resort, two spouses being cuckolded, a slightly violent young girl, weird old ladies, weirder Americans, a bizarre and unpredictable mystery. I listened to the recording by David Suchet and he's excellent with all the characters despite his long association with Poirot himself."

    " A nice, engaging mystery! It's been a while since I've really been drawn in by one of Christie's stories, and while the actual resolution to the mystery is a little contrived, this was a good read and Poirot is his usual semi-annoying yet utterly brilliant self. "

    " I look at this book as the other bookend to Death on the Nile, which is mentioned several times in this book. I can't say too much without going into spoilers, but it's a great book. "

    " It took twoAgatha Christie novels for me to make sure I don't like her style at all. Throughout the book you haven't a clue about who the villain is, until the very last few pages when brilliant Mr. Poirot solves everything. It's annoying, in my opinion. "

    " Very tough to decipher for the new readers of Christie.For Christie regulars,the "how" part will be a tough nut to crack but not the "who" part.A delightful read,nonetheless. "

    " One of my favorite Christie books so far. Good characters, complicated murder and I always like it when Poirot doesn't have that annoying Hastings hanging around. I suspected the right character, but had no idea how he/she had pulled it off with such an airtight alibi. This was a fun read. "
