Agatha Christie's Three Act Tragedy: 1

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Dramatised in five parts by Michael Bakewell.

The famous detective Hercule Poirot is at a weekend house party when an elderly clergyman dies while drinking a dry martini. Was the vermouth/gin ratio of the cocktail so poorly mixed that it offended his delicate palate, or was there something else in the glass that shouldn't have been there?
