在这部二十四只黑画眉悬疑/犯罪片中,沉迷于美食中的波洛，依然保持着对犯罪的敏锐嗅觉——有人改变了保持十年之久的饮食习惯，胡乱点了不合情理的菜肴——什么事将要发生吗？果然，三周后这位盖斯科因先生在家中意外身亡，而波洛的怀疑对象却拥有铁打的不在场证明……且看波洛如何将种种蛛丝马迹连成一条完美的推理之链！其中最重要的一环，便是那令人匪夷所思的二十四只黑画眉……
The estranged, elderly Gascoigne brothers are found dead within days of each other. The one, Anthony, died in his home in Brighton in circumstances that give no cause for suspicion. The other brother, Henry, an eccentric, reclusive painter, however, has fallen downstairs and been dead for some time before his death is discovered. Poirot had been eating in the same restaurant as Henry just before the death. Henry had been pointed out as a creature of habit, a man who always ate exactly the same meal on every visit. On this last occasion, though, he had had a completely different set of courses, which leads Poirot to suspect foul play.
