Agatha Christie no Meitantei Poirot to Marple

Mabel West's father would prefer a conventional future for his daughter, but an encounter with Hercule Poirot awakens a different ambition. She becomes the detective's young assistant, entering a world where a missing jewel or an apparently ordinary household can conceal a crime.

Her great-aunt Jane Marple offers another kind of insight, drawing on close observation of everyday behaviour. Moving between the two investigators, Mabel learns to question appearances and follow the small inconsistencies that betray a carefully hidden truth.
