Summary

Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident – the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff.

This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies – a husband and wife – shot dead.

But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder?

Poirot delves back into a crime committed 15 years earlier and discovers that, when there is a distinct lack of physical evidence, it’s just as well that ‘old sins leave long shadows’…

Poirot is old and no longer as famous as he once was, much to his chagrin, but his little grey cells are still whirring. It's the 1970s and one of Christie's last books, so this is extremely poignant and moving in places, but there's a lot of comedy too. Forgetful, blustering crime-writer Ariadne Oliver is back to befuddle Poirot and give us an insight into Christie's real opinions of her relentlessly avid fans. I just wish I'd never seen the tv adaptation, as although it ended slightly differently, I knew too much! I can only imagine how good it would be to read this without a clue!

But people forget Hercule Poirot
