Great late night read

The dialogue is sharp and never feels forced. I would happily buy another title from this store.

Book synopsis
When renowned physicist Sir Claud Amory suspects a member of his own household is attempting to steal a top-secret explosive formula, he turns to the legendary Hercule Poirot for help. Invited to the Amory country estate under the guise of a weekend guest, Poirot and his faithful companion Captain Hastings arrive to find the household simmering with suppressed tension and hidden secrets. The stakes turn deadly when the formula vanishes and a murder is committed, forcing the detective to use his 'little grey cells' to unmask the culprit. Originally a successful stage play, this vintage mystery has been expertly adapted into a novel that captures the authentic spirit of Agatha Christie.

Some repetition, but the core ideas are worth the time. Good filler between bigger books.
