One of the young attendees, Joyce, boasts that she has witnessed a murder before. However, her claim turns out to be all too true when she is found dead later that evening. The novel's protagonist, Ariadne Oliver, is a crime writer and a friend of the famous detective Hercule Poirot. When she hears about Joyce's murder, she calls Poirot for help. Together, they begin to investigate the case and uncover a web of secrets and lies hidden within the village.
