A teenage murder witness is drowned in a tub of apples...

At a Hallowe'en party, Joyce - a hostile thirteen-year-old - boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no-one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the 'evil presence'. But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double-murderer...

PS 1: I recommend the English version of the book to enjoy the authentic writing style of the British author. However, you can also find the Greek version titled 'Party for Murderers'.

PS 2: If the plot seems familiar to you, it is because of its cinematic adaptation in the movie 'Mystery in Venice/A Haunting in Venice' (2023).

PS 3: Due to the movie, the book has been reissued under the title 'Mystery in Venice'.
