Poirot

Four feature-length cases. In Mrs McGinty's Dead, a lodger has been sentenced to hang for killing charwoman Mrs McGinty, and Poirot has a few days to prove someone else did it; the killer is young Robin Upward. In Cat Among the Pigeons, a teacher is murdered at a girls' boarding school, tied to a Middle Eastern prince's jewels. In Third Girl, a young woman comes to Poirot saying she may have committed a murder, then disappears. In Appointment with Death, cruel Lady Boynton rules her family at a dig in Syria and turns up dead, with suspects to spare.
