Poirot is at a flower show when he is approached by an elderly lady in a wheelchair, Amelia Barrowby. She anxiously gives Poirot an empty seed packet and asks him to visit her the next day. Poirot does visit her the next day but is too late - she is dead, poisoned. Suspicion immediately falls on Ms Barrowby's Russian assistant, Katrina Reiger, who is now nowhere to be found.
Quite interesting and intriguing. The murderer is not obvious and there are a few decent twists and red herrings along the way. The conclusion is quite animated, and comical.
Nice sub-plot involving Hastings and Miss Lemon switching roles. Hasting proves that he is naive even when dealing with simple things like paying bills.
