This is one of Agatha Christie's stories that does not use a serial detective, such as the ubiquitous Poirot, although there is a main character (Luke Fitzwilliam) who is a retired police detective, and he does eventually solve the case. Perhaps she was thinking of trying to make him a recurring character, but I think he's supposed to be a one-off. Luke is a good character; instead of a know-it-all detective type who reveals all in the last chapter, he seems to sort of stumble into the solution just in time.
It's a good mystery.
