If you're a longtime listener of this podcast, you'll know never to trust an actor in a Christie story. So what happens when not one but two actors feature among the rather small cast of suspects? A lot, as it turns out, in this early short story that showcases Christie's unique ability to spin seemingly endless variations on a single puzzle....

In addition to the titular story, the following Christies are spoiled in the course of this episode:

"Miss Marple Tells a Story”

"The Affair at the Bungalow”

"Murder in the Mews”

Cat Among the Pigeons

Three Act Tragedy

Death in the Clouds

And Then There Were None

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Lord Edgware Dies

Evil Under the Sun
