Publisher Description
Hercule Poirot is determined to solve an old husband and wife double murder that is still an open verdict…
Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. Here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies – a husband and wife – shot dead.
But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder? Poirot delves back into the past and discovers that ‘old sin leave long shadows’.

About the author
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Customer Reviews
What a great read!
This was the first Agatha Christie book I have read, as I have always listened to or watched her stories. Not that withstanding, I was taken on a journey still, into a world now gone. Ariadne Oliver, is a favourite of mine and she does not disappoint in this tale of love, tragedy and murder.
Poirot is on his game and the interplay between him and Ariadne is both warm and engaging.
For a book you can come back to and keep you wondering "who dunit" or in this case 'did anyone do it?' it's a great read.
