Summary
A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.
Throwing on an almost convincing French accent, Tommy is determined to be the great Hanaud to his and Tuppence’s latest, rather lovely client. Miss Hargreaves has recently received a box of chocolates from nobody knows who, and due to her dislike of them was the only one to not fall foul of the arsenic spiked treats. But, Miss Hargreaves is not the first recipient of such a gift; three other large country houses have received arsenic laced chocolates. But Miss Hargreaves is holding something back, and it will take Tommy and Tuppence to take up residence at the old house to discover the true culprit, but will they find out the truth in time?
