The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6) while the United States edition retailed at $2.00. The novel features both the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and Chief Inspector Japp. This is Japp's final novel appearance. The plot of the novel concerns Poirot investigating the death of his dentist and other people. At the time of publication, the novel was met with mixed reviews, as A later review by Robert Barnard in 1990 found "a fairly conventional murder mystery, beguilingly and cunningly sustained.political 'idealists', fascist movements and conservative financiers who maintain world stability."
