Poirot is dining out at a London chop house one evening when eminent artist Henry Gasgcoine enters the restaurant for his customary dinner. The next morning, Poirot is intrigued to read in the newspaper that the painter has been found dead. When a post-mortem reveals that Gasgcoine died after eating only a little food, Poirot concludes that the man he saw dining in the restaurant could not have been Gasgcoine at all. (iTunes)

Mistaken identities simply belong in detective stories. Here, what I like is that right from the start, it's clear that there has been a case of mistaken identity, but what's actually more intriguing is the fact of who switched places with that person and why. In this case, it works very well, and despite the slow pace, the story is interesting enough.

Like The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly, Four and Twenty Blackbirds is a rather mediocre whodunit in which the obvious identity of the perpetrator and, to some extent, the predictability of the plot is a stumbling block, especially due to the smaller cast of characters and the (possible SPOILER!) "badly done make-up" (end of possible SPOILER!).
