Description:

Hercule Poirot is hoping for a quiet, sun-soaked holiday at an exclusive island hotel off the Devon coast — but peace is in short supply once the glamorous, flirtatious Arlena Marshall arrives and sets tongues wagging among the guests. The air grows thick with jealousy and tension, and then the unthinkable happens: Arlena is found strangled on a secluded beach. Almost everyone had a reason to want her gone, and almost everyone has an alibi. As the fastidious Belgian detective sifts through the lies, secrets and shifting suspicions, he senses that this apparent crime of passion conceals something far darker. A dazzling, twist-laden classic from the Queen of Crime.
