Susan's Reviews > Triangle at Rhodes: Hercule Poirot

This story was first published in The Strand in 1936 and, in book form, included in, “Murder in the Mews,” in 1937. The themes in this story later became reworked as the novel, “Evil Under the Sun,” in 1940. However, this short story is certainly worth reading in its own right.
Poirot is on holiday in Rhodes, hoping for a relaxing time away from crime. There are only a few residents, including two new couples. The first is the five time married mode, Valentine Chantry, with her latest husband – Naval Commander Tony Chantry. The second couple is Douglas Gold and his mousy wife, Marjorie. When Douglas Gold becomes infatuated with Valentine Chantry, jealousy leads – as Poirot predicted – to murder… This story has a nice setting, good characters and a good twist at the end.
