The mouse ran up the clock - time for murder.

Poirot is incredulous when the impeccable Miss Lemon types a letter riddled with errors. She explains that she's preoccupied with worry about her sister, who runs a London student hostel plagued by a spate of mysterious thefts. More thefts occur and then the murders begin, witnessed only by a small mouse. Poirot and Inspector Japp race against time to trap a killer desperate to conceal a secret from the past.

David Suchet stars as Poirot in this British television production set in the art decco elegance of 1930s Europe. A PBS Mystery! phenomenon and A&E smash hit.
