A classic whodunnit mystery centered on Hercule Poirot unraveling a series of suspicious deaths at elegant social gatherings.

In Acapulco, Hercule Poirot attends a dinner party in which one of the guests clutches his throat and suddenly dies. The causes seem to be natural until another party with most of the same guests produces another corpse.
