Hickory dickory dock

An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel is not normally the sort of crime that arouses Hercule Poirot's interest. However, the warden of the hostel is his secretary Miss Lemon's sister, and efficient Miss Lemon is less than efficient when worried. To set her mind at ease--and decrease the number of mistakes in her typing--he agrees to meet with Mrs. Hubbard. When he sees the bizarre list of stolen and vandalized items--including a stethoscope, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack, and a diamond ring (which was stolen, then discovered in a bowl of soup)--he congratulates Mrs. Hubbard on a 'unique and beautiful problem'. But Poirot soon has more than a possible petty thief on his hands when murder enters the picture.

Poirot finds himself with an intriguing puzzle on his hands, and before long, murder increases the mystery."@en
  • "An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot's interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items - including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup - he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a 'unique and beautiful problem'. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?"@en
