'There's a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune...'
A few weeks after marrying an attractive young widow, Gordon Cloade is killed in a bombing raid during the London Blitz. Overnight, young Rosaleen has inherited a vast fortune.
The rest of the hard-up Cloade family is less than happy, however. When the dead man's sister-in-law tells Hercule Poirot that she has been warned by 'spirits' that Rosaleen's first husband is still alive, the detective finds himself caught between a fortune and some bitter relations who would prefer to see the widow Cloade join her late husband on 'the other side'...
'One of the best. Her gift for blending the cosy with the macabre has seldom been more in evidence than it is here.' - Elizabeth Bowen
