Description
When Ariadne Oliver, the renowned crime novelist, is approached by a young woman with a plea for help regarding a past tragedy, she finds herself drawn into a complex web of memory and deception. The woman's dying godmother had spoken of a past event involving two pairs of parents and a child, hinting at a dark secret that has haunted her for years. Ariadne, with her keen insight into human nature and the workings of the criminal mind, enlists the help of Hercule Poirot to unravel the truth behind a seemingly innocent family gathering that ended in death. Together, they must sift through fragmented recollections and carefully constructed alibis to uncover a killer who has managed to conceal their crime for decades, proving that even the most distant memories can hold deadly secrets.
