Sir Henry Clithering, a member of the Tuesday Night Club, takes his turn and tells a story.
The title refers to a running theme in Agatha Christie's mysteries, where the goal of solving a murder isn't just to punish the guilty but to free the other parties who might be suspects from the suspicion of their friends, neighbors, and loved ones.
Alright. So this one deals with a secret German society that was operating during the war and the man (Dr. Rosen) who brought them to their knees. Rosen told Clithering that it was only a matter of time before they enacted revenge and killed him. When Rosen was found dead from a fall down his stairs, Sir Henry was left with the 4 suspects who lived in the house with the older man.
He never managed to figure out which one of them did it, so who the actual culprit was had always remained a mystery.
Miss Marple and Mrs. Bantry come to his rescue this time around, as both ladies specialized knowledge of certain things show Clithering a new way of looking at the situation.
Originally published in The Story-Teller magazine in 1030.
Read as part of the short story collection The Thirteen Problems .
