Book description
A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the
first time as an ebook.
A party steps off the beautiful yacht the Merrimaid to enjoy the
festivities at shore. Amongst the fortune tellers and yachting races
everyone is utterly at ease. But, when the youngest member of the party,
little Eve, decides to play a trick with a £30,000 diamond named The
Morning Star, the playful trick escalates into a dramatic jewel theft.
Hercule Poirot is begged to solve the disappearance of The Morning Star
by the most suspected member of the party, who pleads that he is not the
purloiner, but then, who is? 'The plots are so good that one marvels …
most of them would have made a full length thriller.' Daily Mirror
