In this delightful tale, an Eastern Prince arrives in England with some family jewels which he's having reset as a gift for his fianceé. However, the Prince also has a mistress. She asks to wear one particularly enchanting piece that features a huge ruby, and then promptly disappears with it. Poirot discovers a connection with a house party at the home of Colonel and Mrs Lacey and, in order to pursue his investigation, an invitation is procured for him to the Laceys', ostensibly to enjoy an old-fashioned Christmas. With deft skill and the workings of his little grey cells, Poirot brings this case to a satisfying and festive conclusion. Starring John Moffat as Hercule Poirot, with Donald Sinden and Sian Phillips as Colonel and Mrs Lacey.

      The last place Hercule Poirot wants to be for the holidays is a drafty manor house, yet he's been asked to "savor the joys" of an English Christmas as part of the hunt for a stolen ruby. John Moffatt's dual duties as actor and first-person narrator create a subtly accented portrait of the fussy yet dignified detective as he deals with a possible poisoning and a dead body at the holiday celebration. A strong supporting cast adds to the fun, emphasizing the humor in Agatha Christie's story. The piece might be a minor Christie mystery, but this BBC drama treats it well. J.A.S.
