Writing a detective story about solving a case that hasn't actually happened yet is simply a showcase of mastery. Especially when such a detective story actually works. Agatha entrusted it to the brilliant Poirot - who else? - and this story was excellently adapted into the film. It’s a beautiful demonstration of how to make a detective story without murder.
