Rate this book
En el Hotel Bertram (Miss Marple #11): Con la intención de visitar a sus sobrinos, miss Marple viaja a Londres y se aloja en el Hotel Bertram. Durante su estancia en dicho establecimiento, empieza a observar ciertos detalles que le indican que allí pasa algo raro. Simultáneamente, Scotland Yard investiga a propósito del Bertram, siguiendo claros indicios que relacionan el hotel con casos de robo recientes.

Destino desconocido: Durante los años de la Guerra Fría, un eminente científico británico, Thomas Charles Betterton, desaparece misteriosamente después de un congreso celebrado en París. Al parecer, no se trata de un caso aislado, pues en los últimos tiempos varios hombres de ciencia han desaparecido y han ido a parar al otro lado del famoso Telón de Acero.

Asesinato en la calle Hickory (Hercule Poirot, #30): La eficientísima secretaria de Hércules Poirot, Miss Lemon, llega excesivamente atrasada y comete algún error. El motivo de su nerviosismo tiene relación con un problema que atañe a su hermana, señora igualmente eficiente que lleva una pensión para estudiantes extranjeros situada en la calle Hickory. Hacía algunos meses que ocurrían hechos extraños y desagradables que la Sra. Hubbard no conseguía administrar adecuadamente: robos y actos de vandalismo inexplicables. Poirot decide ayudar a la Sra. Hubbard, pero se siente inmediatamente confuso, en medio de tantas situaciones aparentemente independientes unas de otras. El problema se agrava cuando ocurre un asesinato.
