Ariadne Oliver, the well-known mystery authoress, calls her friend Poirot to come assist with a murder hunt she's planning. The planning is all done, but she has a foreboding that something is just not right. She says it's as though she's being pointed to add things to her hunt that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Poirot comes to the village, meets the cast of characters (the residents of the house) and prepares to enjoy himself at the fete. Everything seems to be going as planned until the play murder hunt turns into the real thing. Now Poirot has to sort out what matters and what doesn't to solve a very sinister and devious string of murders. I listened to this classic by Agatha Christie. It was read by David Suchet, who plays Poirot in the A&E adaptations of these novels. It was very enjoyable.
