Captain Hastings points out to Poirot that the noise of fireworks on Guy Fawkes night would provide the ideal opportunity for a murder. Little does he know that his Mews garage will become the setting for a murder inquiry more complex than the gunpowder plot. (iTunes)
Reviews (2)
A truly convoluted case tailor-made for the grey brain cells, where we practically don’t know what we are up to until the end. I must commend the non-violently built tension, which during the mutual "flirtation" between suicide and murder managed to be maintained until the final minutes.

The beauty of detective stories is that what appears one way at first glance is actually completely different, and perhaps even more different because there can be multiple twists. Murder in the Mews is precisely one such case because, although everything seems clear at the beginning, it ultimately turns out to be different, only to change again later. I enjoyed this, even though the plot isn't all that action-packed.
