Agatha Christie ~ Murder in Three Acts

Back of Book:

The Reverend Stephen Babbington seldom imbibed, for for the glittering soiree given by renowned actor Sir Charles Cartwright, he indulged in a cocktail ... and fell over dead. Since there was no trace of poison and no motive for murder, the case was closed. Then an identical death at a London party with the same guest list presents Hercule Poirot with his most unusual mystery. In need of both clues and suspects, the masterful detective stages a dinner party of his own ... at which Death is the guest of honor.

Quotes from the book:

• And he looked with pleasure at the white building behind him, equipped with three bathrooms, hot and cold water in all the bedrooms, the latest system of central heating, the newest electrical fittings and a staff of parlor maid, housemaid, chef, and kitchen maid. Sir Charles' interpretation of simple living was, perhaps, a trifle exaggerated.   pg 7
• "Ah, no, I agree with you there. I was surprised for another reason. It seemed to me that Sir Charles had a particular reason for staying in Loomouth - a very charming reason. Eh, am I not right? The little demoiselle who calls herself, so amusingly, the egg?"   pg 49
• "Stephen was my father's curate. He was the first young man young man I saw when I came home from school. I fell in love with him and he with me. We were engaged for four years and then he got a living down in Kent and we were able to get married. Ours was a very simple love story, Sir Charles, and a very happy one."   pg 115
