And there are rumors that his neighbor, Hercule Poirot, doesn't have a clue. Setting up the traditional rules of mystery only to shatter them with glee, Agatha Christie startles fans with this ingeniously tricky whodunit, which remains one of the most famous detective novels ever written and certainly one of the most delightfully controversial
