Hercule Poirot is enjoying a quiet breakfast when a young woman bursts in, confesses that she may have committed murder, and then flees after pronouncing the Belgian detective "too old" to help her. Affronted by this rude outburst and determined to prove the girl wrong, Poirot tracks down the mysterious young lady, the third roommate in a London flat shared with a responsible secretary and a bohemian artist. As Poirot inserts himself into the bizarre case, he runs into all sorts of troubling questions, the most vexing of which is whether a murder has taken place at all! One of the later Poirot mysteries, Third Girl showcases the Queen of Mystery at her thrilling and confounding best!
