Suggested by modern_remaker
Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings travel to Merlinville-sur-Mer, France, to meet Paul Renauld. Renauld is found dead, stabbed in the back with a knife, and left in a newly dug grave. His wife, Eloise Renauld, claims masked men broke into her villa and took her husband away. Monsieur Giraud leads the police investigation, resenting Poirot's involvement. Poirot notes four key facts about the case: a piece of lead piping near the body, only three female servants in the villa, an unknown person visiting the day before, and Renauld's immediate neighbor, Madame Daubreuil, placing 200,000 francs into her bank account over recent weeks. Poirot discovers that the case is nearly identical to one from 22 years ago, where Georges Conneau and Madame Beroldy conspired to kill Madame Beroldy's husband. He travels to Paris to discover more about the Conneau murder and discovers that the real killer was Marthe Daubreuil. Renauld's situation worsens when Jack becomes attracted to her daughter, and he sees an opportunity to stage his own death and escape Mme Daubreuil. To expose Marthe as the killer, Poirot asks Eloise to openly state she will disinherit Jack. Marthe attempts to kill Eloise but dies in a struggle with Hastings's Cinderella. Marthe's mother disappears again, and Jack and his mother plan to go to South America, joined by Hastings and Cinderella, who is revealed as Bella Duveen's twin sister Dulcie.
