The Hollow

 The eccentric Lucy Angkatell has invited the Christows, along with other members of her extended family, to her estate for the weekend. John Christow is carrying on an affair with Henrietta Savernake, a talented sculptor. The beautiful Veronica Cray, an old flame of Christow's, suddenly appears in the house on Saturday night to borrow a box of matches. She lives at a nearby cottage. Another cottage is occupied by Hercule Poirot, who has been invited for Sunday lunch. John walks Veronica back to her cottage, and returns home at 3 am. The next day, Poirot is witness to a scene that seems strangely staged. Gerda Christow stands with a gun in her hand next to John's body, as it bleeds into the swimming pool. Lucy, Henrietta, and Edward (a cousin of Lucy's and a second cousin of Henrietta) are also present at the scene. John utters a final urgent appeal, "Henrietta", and dies.

It seems obvious that Gerda is the murderer. Henrietta steps forward to take the revolver from her hand, but apparently fumbles and drops it into the swimming pool, destroying the evidence. However, the pistol that Gerda was holding was not the gun used to kill John. None of the witnesses has seen Gerda shoot John. It seems difficult to build a case against any of the other potential suspects. Lucy was the next suspect, as she kept a pistol concealed in her basket of eggs. However, the pistol was the wrong calibre. Henrietta is the next suspect, having left an unusual doodle in the pavilion around the time John was killed. When the murder weapon turns up in Poirot's hedge, it has fingerprints that match none of the suspects.

Hungarian Summary:

Egy gyilkos számára nincs hétvége, akkor is dolgozik, így szegény Hercule Poirotnak alaposan meg kell tornásztatnia agytekervényeit, pedig eredetileg csak vendégségbe indult Sir Henry Angkatell vidéki birtokára.

Persze a belga mesterdetektív imádja a kihívásokat. A rejtély most is (majdnem) megfejthetetlen.

A vendégek között ott van John Cristow, a jóképű orvos a kissé naív és bugyuta feleségével, Gerdával. Amikor a férjre holtan találnak, felmerül a kérdés, hogy vajon miféle kapcsolat lehetett John és Henrietta, a csinos és vonzó színésznő között?

Poirot hamar felfedi a szerelmi háromszög rejtélyét, de vajon egy féltékenységből elkövetett bűntényről lehet szó, vagy ismét szövevényes hazugságok hálójába keveredett?

Az úszómedence, egy doboz gyufa és mindenféle lőfegyverek fura halmazából végül mégis kikerekedik az igazság…
