The Love Detectives
While visiting Colonel Melrose, Mr Satterthwaite hears of the murder of Sir James Dwighton, a friend and neighbour of his host. The Dwightons have recently been in a messy love triangle and the wife and her lover are immediately suspected. A chance meeting with Mr Quin, who brings his usual uncanny insights, means the case is soon solved. But who is really guilty of murder?
Colonel Melrose features in two other Christie Stories. He was the Chief Constable in The Secret of Chimneys and The Seven Dials Mystery. This story was written around the same time as the stories that feature in The Mysterious Mr Quin.
This short story is published in Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories and also in Three Blind Mice and Other Stories in the US.
