Das fehlende Glied in der Kette: Poirots erster Fall

by Agatha Christie, Nina Schindler (Translator)

Hip Hip Hercule!

Vor 100 Jahren löste der berühmteste Ermittler der Welt seinen ersten Fall

 Wer hat die wohlhabende Mrs Emily Inglethorp auf ihrem Landgut Styles Court vergiftet? Ihr Ehemann Alfred, der es scheinbar auf das Erbe abgesehen hat? Doch auch ihre Stiefsöhne oder die launische Haushälterin könnten die Mörder sein. In seinem ersten Fall nimmt Hercule Poirot alle Bewohner von Styles gründlich unter die Lupe, bis er das fehlende Glied in der Kette gefunden hat. 

 Agatha Christies Debütroman war das Ergebnis einer Die Autorin, die zuvor noch kein einziges Buch geschrieben hatte, würde es nicht schaffen, eine Detektivgeschichte zu schreiben, bei der der Leser einfach nicht auf den Mörder kommt, obwohl er die gleichen Hinweise erhält wie der Ermittler. Nun, lösen Sie das Rätsel noch vor Poirot?
