It was adapted for TV in 2004 and starred David Suchet. One reviewer described it as “ingenious entertainment”. So the play was adapted, Poirot ousted, and it was produced in 1951 under the same title, The Hollow. Ignoring her daughter Rosalind’s protests, Agatha Christie decided to adapt The Hollow for stage, affectionately describing Rosalind as having “the valuable role in life of eternally trying to discourage me without success”. The main players include a downtrodden wife, her successful husband, and the reappearance of an old flame. More about this story: First published as a novel in the US in 1946 by Dodd, Mead and Company, The Hollow remains an example of classic Christie: a gathering of guests at a country house is disturbed by a sudden death and luckily Poirot is in attendance. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect – and each a victim of love. Poirot’s enquiries reveal a complex web of romantic attachments. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool. As his blood drips into the water, John Christow gasps one final word: ‘Henrietta’. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Synopsis: Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. A paperback edition in the US by Dell Books in 1954 changed the title to Murder after Hours.
