David Suchet is looking older in comparison to the last season. I think world will always remember him as the “world’s most greatest detective”, despite portraying a virtual character he would remain the most life like depiction of a person who has the worlds most powerful “grey cells” to solve the most difficult murder mysteries.

The show begins with a trial of James Bentley for the murder of “Abigail McGinty”, the cleaner of Broadhinny who also took in Bentley as her lodger.

Superintendent of police “Spence” is not at all convinced, and feels the man is innocent, and so he visits Poirot, asking him to look into the case. Poirot then heads off to the village, where he becomes the paying guest of Maureen and Major Johnnie Summerhayes.

However, which woman was this case connected with goes in suspense? Checkout the way Poirot solves the mystery and how he saves James from being hanged.
