The Kidnapped Prime Minister

The British Prime Minister's car is attacked by a band of thugs. He manages to escape with minor injuries but a few days later he is kidnapped. The British government are desperate for the PM to be found quickly - he is due to attend an important conference. Upon the recommendation of Chief Inspector Japp, they call in Hercule Poirot.

Quite interesting, but as you can tell from the title alone, a bit far- fetched. Also a bit easy to see who the guilty parties are - not from the clues but just from the way they act.

Is a decent mystery though. Some good sub-plots too, especially the one involving Poirot and his tailor.
