Much to Poirot's chagrin, he arrives too late in Cornwall to prevent Mrs Pengelley's death. She had asked for his help. She suspected her husband, a dentist, was poisoning her so that he could marry his young assistant. After conducting preliminary interviews, Poirot is sure that Mrs Pengelley was not murdered by her husband and sets about finding the real killer. (iTunes)

The Cornish Mystery offers a case full of suspicion, false accusations and digestion, but even that doesn't stop the grey brain cells from unraveling and unmasking the perpetrator. Again, one of those episodes in which Inspector Japp takes a severe beating from Poirot, but we could have gotten used to that by now.

The setting of a small town is fully utilized for the needs of the short story, and furthermore, the surroundings are terribly beautiful. But I also mean the people and how they look at a person and his crime, even if it's unproven. Hercule Poirot once again displays a slightly rough sense of humor, which, however, works, and we thereby receive an original solution to the crime.
