Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer -- in case he or she decides to strike again.
Will the illustrious detective Hercule Poirot crack the case? Who is it? Why did it occur? How many people have a motive? Come experience the mystery with the cast and see if you guessed correctly regarding “whodunnit.”
