Summary: <strong>Poirot</strong> concludes his murder investigation in Cornwall.<br />
<strong>Poirot</strong> believes this to be important, because if Seton<br />
died then his fortune would go to Nick, and if Nick died<br />
it would go to Freddie. Thus <strong>Poirot</strong> considers Freddie<br />
an important suspect. He is also suspicious of Charles<br />
Vyse, because he may think he gets Nick’s money upon<br />
her death instead of Freddie. <strong>Poirot</strong> and Hastings search<br />
Nick’s house for the will. They find a few love letters<br />
from Seton, but not the will. Nick then remembers she<br />
sent it to Charles Vyse; however, when <strong>Poirot</strong> visits Vyse<br />
he says he never got the will. <strong>Poirot</strong> visits the Crofts<br />
next, because it was they who convinced Nick to make<br />
a will in the first place, when she was to get her appendix<br />
removed. Mr. Croft says that he sent the will to<br />
Vyse. <strong>Poirot</strong> reasons that either Vyse or Croft are lying,<br />
although he does not know why. <strong>Poirot</strong> does not<br />
believe the Crofts are connected to the murder, however<br />
he is still suspicious of them, mainly because they are<br />
just too nice. He asks his friend Chief Inspector Japp of<br />
Scotland Yard to check up on the Crofts. Another possible<br />
clue is a piece of paper the police found which is<br />
apparently part of a letter demanding money, although<br />
the author and recipient are unknown. When Freddie<br />
later sees this piece of paper she almost faints.<br />
<strong>Poirot</strong> still believes the will to be very important, so he and Hastings travel to London to visit<br />
Michael Seton’s solicitor, who confirms Seton’s will leaves his vast fortune to Magdala Buckley.<br />
Upon returning to St Loo, <strong>Poirot</strong> finds there has been another attempt on Nick’s life, this time<br />
cocaine poisoning. Nick apparently ate a chocolate laced with cocaine. As she only ate one, Nick<br />
only became ill and was not killed. Further complicating matters is that the box of chocolate<br />
was supposedly sent by <strong>Poirot</strong> as it contained a card which he had sent with a bouquet of<br />
flowers. <strong>Poirot</strong> finds that Jim Lazarus dropped off the box; he tells them he did this on behalf of<br />
Freddie. Freddie says that Nick called her and asked for the chocolates, but her voice sounded<br />
