During a dinner party given by Sir Charles Cartwright the guests are appalled at the death of the Reverend Babbington who choked on his cocktail.  When Sir Bartholomew Strange, who was also at the dinner party, dies of nicotine poisoning some months later Satterthwaite, Poirot, Sir Charles and Egg Lytton Gore join forces to track down a devious murderer.

Is Satterthwaite as effective here without Harley Quin's gentle nudging?  Should Egg have been put in further stories?  How does she compare to, say, Tuppence, Victoria Jones and Anne Beddingfeld?
