Hercule Poirot's friend, the crime novelist Ariadne Oliver, attends a Hallowe'en party in the country. At the party a young girl claims she once saw a murder. Nobody believes her but later that evening the girl is found murdered. Oliver suspects that the perpetrator of the murder the girl saw has murdered the girl and calls in Poirot.
Quite intriguing, though some parts of the plot are easy to figure out in advance. In addition, the ultimate chain of events seems a bit too fantastical and complex to be plausible. So you have a murder where unraveling the plot veers from easy to impossible. Not ideal, but it is still very entertaining.
