Overview
HURTOS INEXPLICABLES Y UN ASESINATO QUE SOLO HÉRCULES POIROT PODRÁ RESOLVER.
Un aumento de robos en una residencia de estudiantes no es el tipo de delito que suele despertar el interés de Hércules Poirot. Tras repasar la lista de objetos sustraídos o vandalizados, que incluía un estetoscopio, unos viejos pantalones de franela, una caja de bombones, una mochila rajada o un anillo de diamantes encontrado en un plato de sopa; Poirot felicitó a la directora, la señora Hubbard, por presentarle un caso «único y hermoso».
La lista de objetos robados no tenía ningún sentido.
Pero si se trataba de un ladrón de poca monta, ¿por qué estaban todos tan asustados?, se preguntó Poirot.
«El esbozo de los personajes es tan bueno como siempre y, a pesar de lo intricado del rompecabezas, hay entretenimiento de sobra.» THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
UNEXPLAINED THEFTS AND A MURDER THAT ONLY HERCULE POIROT CAN SOLVE.
A rise in thefts at a student residence isn’t the kind of crime that usually piques Hercule Poirot’s interest. After reviewing the list of stolen or vandalized items—which included a stethoscope, a pair of old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed backpack, and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup—Poirot congratulated the headmistress, Mrs. Hubbard, for presenting him with a “unique and beautiful” case.
The list of stolen objects made no sense.
But if it was just a petty thief, why was everyone so frightened? Poirot wondered.
“The character sketches are as good as ever and, despite the intricacy of the puzzle, there’s plenty of entertainment.” THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
