When Poirot's ever-efficient secretary, Miss Lemon, is uncharacteristically flustered by the strange goings-on at her sister's boarding house, the fastidious Belgian detective is drawn into an investigation that uncovers a web of secrets, lies, and hidden identities among the seemingly ordinary residents. Christie masterfully illustrates how the mundane and the menacing can coexist, building suspense with her signature wit and precision as Poirot methodically dismantles each suspect's carefully constructed façade. The novel chronicles a cast of international students and staff whose diverse backgrounds and concealed motives keep readers guessing until the final, satisfying revelation. Fans of classic whodunits will find this a quintessential Christie — sharp, clever, and utterly absorbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887922393307,"sku":"2026200007888-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/309c3b6b-2835-46c0-93a2-d11c3bd860ed.png?v=1781749396","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007888-secondhand-hickory-dickory-dock","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
