Normally, a mere outbreak of petty thefts in a youth hostel wouldn't be enough to interest the great detective Hercule Poirot. However, the warden of the hostel is sister to Poirot's secretary Miss Lemon, and concern for her sister is interfering with Miss Lemon's typing abilities. Poirot finds himself with an intriguing puzzle on his hands, and before long, murder increases the mystery.

Something strange is happening at the boarding house run by Miss Lemon’s sister, Poirot decides to find the answers.
Unsatisfying mystery with unnecessary twists, and almost no Poirot, and can probably win the award for most tenuously titled Christie novel. It’s.… not good, rapidly deteriorating into an inane, and tedious mess.
