An extremely eccentric man seemingly commits suicide after summoning Poirot to his home with no explanation.
When Poirot arrives at Sir Gervase Chevenix-Gore's home he finds out no one is expecting him, but he is just in time for the discovery of the body.

description

A locked-room mystery with a great cast of characters that keeps you guessing til the end.
Mr. Satterthwaite from Three Act Tragedy & The Mysterious Mr. Quin has a small cameo in this one, as well.

Really enjoyed this one!

On a side note to the Christie nerds, this was expanded from the 1932 short story The Second Gong.

Read as part of the short story collection Murder in the Mews.
