Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for armchair detectives and book lovers. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Shelve it next to L.A. Confidential. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A talented American actress enlists the help of the famed Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, to negotiate a divorce from her husband, Lord Edgware, only to find him the next day stabbed to death in his library. Who would want him dead?
