A dinner-party death without an obvious motive

A guest dies after choking on a cocktail that, according to the description, contains no poison. Hercule Poirot’s challenge is not only to account for the death but to find a motive where none is apparent. The dinner party and its thirteen guests provide the setting for this traditional detective mystery, built around an unexplained death and the puzzle of how it happened.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy traditional detective mysteries and Hercule Poirot investigations.
  • Readers interested in closed-circle puzzles set around a dinner party.
  • Readers who like mysteries centered on an apparently motive-free crime.

Book overview

In this official authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, the normally unflappable Hercule Poirot faces his most baffling investigation: the seemingly motiveless murder of the thirteenth guest at dinner party, who choked to death on a cocktail containing not a trace of poison. Now with a beautiful new series look!

Sir Charles Cartwright should have known better than to allow thirteen guests to sit down for dinner. For at the end of the evening one of them is dead--choked by a cocktail that contained no trace of poison.

Predictable, says Hercule Poirot, the great detective. But entirely unpredictable is that he can find absolutely no motive for murder....
