Set during World War I, the plot unfolds at Styles Court in Essex, where Hastings is invited to stay by his friend John Cavendish. The household is disrupted when someone is found poisoned. Poirot takes on the case at Hastings' request. Through intricate investigation, Poirot discovers that Emily's new husband, Alfred Inglethorp, is central to the case. Despite being the main beneficiary of Emily's will, Alfred's suspicious actions and inability to provide an alibi draw attention. Christie intricately crafts a plot involving family tensions, hidden motives, and multiple suspects, typical of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, which she helped define.
