Als Mrs. Todd Hercule Poirot bittet, nach ihrer Köchin zu suchen, die spurlos verschwunden ist, ist dieser zunächst wenig geneigt, sich der Sache anzunehmen. Aber als Mrs. Todd ihn kurz darauf mit einer bescheidenen Bezahlung von seinem Auftrag entbindet, ist Poirot empört und sein Ehrgeiz geweckt. (one - ARD)
Kritiken (2)
The first case of the grey brain cells starring David Suchet offers a somewhat more sober performance with the main character, a Belgian with a characteristic moustache, whom many people take for a Frenchman and who can playfully crack even the most difficult case, but has a real problem with hammering an ordinary nail. Even though the crime in this story takes place almost out of sight, it still doesn't lack a certain amount of suspense and a good plot. In short, the beginning of a modern-day Poirot, which is followed by better pieces, but still a delight.

When I had already seen the last episode, it was about time for me to also watch the first one. This series set a high level right from the beginning, which only shows how good direction was chosen, but also that the source material is simply so good that it can be extremely well developed. The television adaptation doesn't bother at all, nor does the time in which the plot takes place, because it all works together. Moreover, Poirot is truly a unique character.
