A fabulous little mystery where Poirot has to solve the case of a missing cook. But is it more than that? Read it and find out :)

”I’m sorry, I’m sure, but you know what these papers are nowadays. You begin reading a nice article ‘What a bride said to her plain unmarried friend’, and it’s all about a simple thing you buy at the chemists and shampoo your hair with. Nothing but puff.”

First published in 1924. Clickbait: nothing’s changed in nearly 100 years.

Probably one of my least favourite of Christie’s. A bit too short and not that exciting of a read, unlikely we would ever work it out ourselves so no level of excitement.

[4.25/5]

This was a great story with enough twists to keep me fully engaged, but a few more character implications would have been helpful to the arc of the mystery.
