Yellow Iris

by Agatha Christie · 2019

When a frantic, whispered phone call warns of "life and death" and mentions a table with yellow irises, the ever‑meticulous Hercule Poirot rushes to the opulent Jardin des Cygnes restaurant. There, an old acquaintance draws him into a glittering dinner party celebrating a tragic anniversary—four years since a mysterious death that Poirot himself once witnessed. As champagne flows and the band plays, a chilling announcement silences the revelry and the lights plunge into darkness. When illumination returns, the scene has been irrevocably altered, and a new murder looms. Poirot must untangle a web of secrets, old grudges, and hidden motives to uncover the killer before another victim falls.
