In this authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a Halloween Party turns deadly, and it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer.

At a Halloween party, Joyce—a hostile thirteen-year-old—boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the 'evil presence'. But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double-murderer...

      In a picturesque British village, a fun-filled Halloween party for young teens culminates with the murder of a girl found drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. John Moffat delivers a strong and accomplished performance. Especially provocative is his portrayal of Christie's hero, Hercule Poirot, as he calculates, hypothesizes, and interrogates one peculiar suspect after another. Moffatt intelligently assesses each suspect, carefully providing insightful portrayals of emotional complications, personality flaws and greedy motives. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

      When a girl is drowned after telling mystery writer Ariadne Oliver that she witnessed a murder, Hercule Poirot finds himself looking into several unresolved deaths in an English town. John Moffatt exaggerates Poirot's Belgian accent, but his speech is always clear, with the inflections used to good effect in making observations about human nature and showing the way Poirot uses flattery and manipulation to gain the confidence of witnesses. It's the observations about people that make this Agatha Christie novel work as the author brings her cozy mystery style into the less-than-cozy 1960s, giving Poirot and Oliver the chance to react to changing times.
