Hercule Poirot is holidaying at the Palace Hotel in Rhodes. He and his fellow guests are interested in the arrival of famous and beautiful divorcee Valentine, accompanied by her fifth husband. They can't help but notice how Valentine immediately starts flirting with a good looking man who arrives the same day - much to the public displeasure of her husband. Just as Poirot finishes his holiday and prepares to leave he is called back to the hotel. After drinking a pink gin with the other guests, Valentine is dead. (iTunes)

When I look towards the East, it's something that immediately piques my interest. Well, Greece isn't exactly the Orient, but still, it gives Poirot an entirely new dynamic. In that environment, especially on the beach, he's very comedic, even without faithful Hastings by his side. Moreover, the detective case itself is excellent, mainly because its resolution truly surprises.

For once, the mustachioed Belgian sets off for the remote island of Rhodes to the sounds of an oriental-tinged theme tune, with a love triangle playing the biggest role. I enjoyed the change of locations, the unconventional serving of action and the not-so-obvious identity and motive of the perpetrator, even if it was slightly pulled out of thin air.
