DEAUVILLE 1923
MURDER ON THE LINKS
Poirot and Hastings are on holiday in
Deauville and receive a visit from Paul
Renauld, who believes he's being
cheated by Chileans. Renauld is
kidnapped and his body is later found
buried in a new golf bunker. French
detective Giraud unwisely challenges
Poirot to catch the killer before he can.
Meanwhile, Hastings is diverted by
love – he has fallen heavily for an
actress called Dulcie Duveen. Dulcie
has a twin sister called Bella. And one
of them appears to be mixed up in the
killing of Renault.

PARIS 1935
DEATH IN THE CLOUDS
Poirot falls asleep on a short aeroplane flight from
Paris to London, and one of the other passengers,
Madame Giselle, is killed by a poison dart while he
sleeps. Poirot finds out that she was a moneylender, which may provide a motive for the killing.
Poirot now has two firm suspects in his investigation
of a murder on board an aeroplane. But nailing the
killer down takes time.

THE CHOCOLATE BOX
Poirot returns to Belgium for
the first time since the Great
War, and there he revisits a
twenty-year-old
murder
mystery that was never
officially solved. We flash
back to an eager young
detective on the Brussels
police force, working to
serve a young woman who
has come to him for help. In
the process, the pin the
older Poirot wears is
identified.

Rufus van Aldin, not to mention the husband Ruth has just left
(Derek Kettering) and also her lover – but Ruth gets brutally

THE ADVENTURE OF THE
EGYPTIAN TOMB
An archaeologist dies of a heart attack shortly after
opening an ancient Egyptian tomb, but his widow
thinks there is dirty work at the crossroads and calls
in Poirot. Poirot dismisses the idea of a mummy's
curse, and by risking his own life he smokes out a
murderer.

PROBLEM AT SEA

Poirot and Hastings are on board a ship
steaming towards Alexandria, in Egypt. Poirot
recovers from his usual sea-sickness to take
an interest in some fellow-passengers,
especially the Clappertons. The rich Mrs
Clapperton is offensively rude to lesser
mortals, while Colonel Clapperton is rumoured
to be not a real colonel at all, but a retired
music-hall
performer.
On
arrival
at
Alexandria, Mrs Clapperton is found murdered
in her cabin, and Poirot finds (as usual) quite a
number of suspects.

those staying at the Palace Hotel. And he
does not have the help of Hastings, who is
not on the island.
