This one is special because it has Ariadne Oliver's first appearance!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the name, Mrs. Oliver is a mystery writer (perhaps a nod to Christie herself) that exists in both the world of Poirot and Miss Marple.
Besides that, this is also a fun Parker Pyne short story.
Pyne seems to take on 'cases' for people who have a need in their lives. In the case of the soldier, he's bored with civilian life, and Pyne sets him up with exactly the sort of adventure that he needs but has no idea that he wants.
Good stuff!
You can also read this as part of the short story collection Parker Pyne Investigates.
