Third Girl is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in November 1966[1] and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year.[2][3] The UK edition retailed at eighteen shillings (18/-)[1] and the US edition at $4.50.[3]

Key Information

It features her Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the recurring character Ariadne Oliver. The novel is notable for being the first in many years in which Poirot is present from beginning to end. It is uncommon in that the investigation includes discovering the first crime, which happens comparatively late in the novel.

Plot summary

[edit]

Norma Restarick seeks help from Poirot, believing she may have committed murder. When she sees him in person, she flees, saying he is too old. He pursues the case finding that Ariadne Oliver sent Norma to him. He believes there is a murder that prompted Norma's fears. Poirot and Mrs Oliver gather information, visiting her parents’ home and her apartment building. Norma does not return home after a weekend visit to her father and stepmother. Mrs Oliver finds her in a café by chance with her boyfriend David. Poirot meets Norma at the café, where she mentions the death again. After describing the odd times where she cannot recall what has happened she leaves in fear again. Mrs Oliver trails David, ending up in the hospital after being coshed on the head upon leaving his art studio. Poirot arranges for psychiatrist Dr Stillingfleet to follow Norma; he pulls her to safety from a close call with speeding traffic and brings her to his place for treatment and for safety.

Norma's father Andrew abandoned her and her mother Grace when Norma was about 5 years old. Andrew had run off with a woman in a relationship that ended soon after. He travelled in Africa in financially successful ventures. Norma lived with her mother until Grace's death two and a half years before. Andrew returned to England after his brother Simon died a year earlier, to work in the family firm, arriving with a new young wife, Mary. Norma can recognise nothing familiar in this man, but accepts him. Norma is the third girl in her flat in the fashion of young women advertising for a third girl to share the rent. The main tenant, Claudia, is secretary to her newfound father; the other girl, Frances, travels often for the art gallery that employs her.

Mrs Oliver learns that a woman in the apartment building had recently died by falling from her window. A week passes before she tells Poirot, who feels this is what bothers Norma. The woman was Louise Charpentier. Norma says that her father ran off with Louise Birell. Later, Mrs Oliver finds a piece of paper linking Louise Charpentier to Andrew. Mary Restarick has been ill from poison in her food. Sir Roderick engages Poirot to find documents missing from his files which brings young Sonia under suspicion.

Norma is lured from Dr Stillingfleet by an ad in the newspaper to meet David, and is again drugged. Frances kills David. She sets it up to appear that Norma did it, but the blood on the knife was congealed when Norma found herself holding it. With police and family gathered in the flat, Poirot announces that Andrew did die in Africa. Robert Orwell is posing as her father to gain the wealth of the family. He had David paint portraits of him and his late wife in the style of a painter popular 20 years earlier as part of the ruse. Most cruelly, he and his wife have been giving Norma various drugs that give her hallucinations and an altered sense of time, to set her up as guilty. Further, the wife had poisoned herself hoping to pin that on Norma, too. Louise wrote to Andrew on learning he was back in England, so Frances killed Louise; this is the murder Norma feared she did. The woman posing as her stepmother was also Frances, who used a blonde wig to cover her dark hair when changing roles. Poirot takes the wig from her bag to make that point. Murder of the two who could expose the imposters was just one of her crimes. Sonia is exonerated when she finds the papers Sir Roderick misplaced, and the two will marry. Poirot had chosen Dr Stillingfleet to help him with Norma in hopes the two would marry, and they will.

Literary significance and reception

[edit]

Unusually for this period, The Guardian did not carry a review of the novel.

Maurice Richardson in The Observer of 13 November 1966 concluded, "There is the usual double-take surprise solution centring round a perhaps rather artificial identity problem; but the suspense holds up all the way. Dialogue and characters are lively as flies. After this, I shan't be a bit surprised to see A.C. wearing a mini-skirt."[4]

Robert Barnard: "One of Christie's more embarrassing attempts to haul herself abreast of the swinging 'sixties. Mrs Oliver plays a large part, detection a small one."[5]

Adaptations for television

[edit]
British

A television adaptation by Peter Flannery for the series Agatha Christie's Poirot starring David Suchet as Poirot and Zoë Wanamaker as Ariadne Oliver was filmed in April and May 2008. It aired on 28 September 2008 on ITV. It contains significant alterations to the plot, including doing away with the character of Dr. Stillingfleet and with David's death, so that David ends up with Norma. They also cut the stepmother subplot and have Claudia be Andrew/Robert's secretary; she wishes to marry him, and he makes her an unwitting accomplice. Instead of drugging Norma to make her appear insane, Frances and Robert/Andrew play upon her own anxiety and PTSD related to finding her mother after she committed suicide when Norma was young. The murder that starts everything is of Norma's old nanny, rather than Andrew's mistress, although the motive is the same; it is made to appear as if she committed suicide in a similar method to Norma's mother, which brings back Norma's childhood trauma and guilt over not being able to save her. As is true with most of the later novels adapted for Agatha Christie's Poirot, the time period is kept vague rather than making it distinctly 1960s.

French

The novel was also adapted as a 2017 episode of the French television series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie.

Narrative Elements

Plot summary

In Third Girl, the novel opens with a young woman named Norma Restarick interrupting Hercule Poirot at breakfast, confessing her fear that she may have committed a murder before abruptly fleeing his apartment, dismissing him as "too old" to help. Disturbed by the encounter, Poirot soon learns of Norma's disappearance after she leaves her family home, Crosshedges in Long Basing, without returning to her shared flat at 67 Borodene Mansions in London. Her father, Andrew Restarick, a businessman who has recently returned from abroad, hires Poirot to locate her, drawing the detective into an investigation of Norma's troubled life. Poirot collaborates with his friend, the mystery writer , who had briefly met Norma at the Restarick home and provides initial leads on her London circumstances. Together, they explore Norma's background, including her role as the "third girl" in a flatshare with two other young women: Claudia Reece-Holland, a poised personal , and Frances Cary, an aspiring . The inquiry reveals Norma's employment at an interior decorating firm, her involvement with a disreputable boyfriend named David Baker in 's vibrant art scene, and strained family dynamics at Crosshedges, where Andrew lives with his much younger second wife, Mary Restarick, and the elderly Sir Roderick Horsfield.

Literary Analysis

Themes and motifs

"Third Girl," set against the backdrop of , vividly captures the era's through depictions of "swinging ," where young people embraced mod fashion and independent lifestyles. The novel portrays young women like Norma Restarick engaging in flat-sharing arrangements, a hallmark of the time's social shifts toward autonomy and communal living among the unmarried youth. This is exemplified by the "third girl" in a shared flat paying the least rent for the smallest space, reflecting economic realities and the era's emphasis on youthful experimentation. Generational clashes emerge prominently, as traditional figures like confront the rebellious offspring of conservative parents, highlighting tensions between outdated values and the mod subculture's flair, such as young men strutting in "curled hair and their velvets and silks." Central to the narrative are themes of and identity, particularly Norma's psychological turmoil marked by unreliable memory, guilt, and repression. The story delves into psychiatric elements, portraying mental instability as a fluid state influenced by external pressures, where characters experience and identity confusion. This is underscored through acts of psychological manipulation, such as drugging to induce perceived madness, emphasizing therapy's role in unraveling repressed traumas and restoring a fragmented sense of self. The serves as a motif for deception, contrasting creative expression with criminality through characters like Frances Cary and David Baker. emerges as a key symbol, where artistic talent masks illicit activities, including a racket blending genuine with and . This duality reflects broader anxieties about authenticity in a modern, appearance-driven society, with the novel's graduates embodying the blurred lines between inspiration and exploitation. Family secrets and drive explorations of dysfunctional dynamics, including absent parents, , and financial motives that fracture familial bonds. The plot reveals hidden legacies and impersonation schemes tied to , exposing how repressed histories perpetuate cycles of guilt and conflict within families. Subtle hints at infuse the narrative, nodding to influences like hallucinogens that distort perception and contribute to mental disarray. References to "pill-popping" in London's vibrant scene suggest how such elements exacerbate themes of unreliable reality and youthful excess.

Allusions to other works

Third Girl reintroduces Dr. John Stillingfleet, a psychiatrist who first appeared in the short story "The Dream," included in the collection The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (1960). In both narratives, Stillingfleet provides expert insight into the psychological motivations of suspects, assisting Poirot in unraveling cases involving mental distress. Mr. Goby also returns as Hercule Poirot's reliable information gatherer, a character initially featured in After the Funeral (1953), where he similarly compiles discreet reports on individuals connected to the investigation. His familiarity with Poirot underscores the detective's established network of confidential sources. The novel includes brief mentions of other Christie detectives during a conversation in which Poirot fabricates a past encounter: Colonel Race, prominent in Death on the Nile (1937) and Cards on the Table (1936), and Inspector Giraud from The Murder on the Links (1923). These nods evoke Poirot's history of collaborations with Scotland Yard and intelligence figures. Ariadne Oliver, the recurring author character often viewed as Christie's alter ego, engages in meta-references to her own fictional oeuvre, including her dissatisfaction with her Finnish detective Sven Hjerson, and alludes to Poirot's prior successes, such as cases involving international intrigue. These elements highlight the self-reflective nature of her involvement in the plot. Broader allusions draw on Christie's established tropes of psychological suspense and crimes involving valuable artworks, echoing the art theft and deception in the short story "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding" (US title: "The Theft of the Royal Ruby"), first published in 1923 and expanded in collections like The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (1960). Such references reinforce thematic continuities across the Poirot canon.

Critical reception

Upon its release, Third Girl received positive attention from contemporary reviewers for its engaging narrative and Christie's adept portrayal of 1960s youth culture. Maurice Richardson, in his review for The Observer, praised the novel's suspense, lively characters, and the author's skillful handling of modern youth, noting it as a welcome return to form despite the era's stylistic shifts. Later critical assessments were more mixed, with some highlighting perceived flaws in structure and execution. Robert Barnard, in his analysis of oeuvre, described Third Girl as "one of more embarrassing attempts to haul herself abreast of the ," criticizing the weak detection and solution as a cheat. Scholarly discussions position Third Girl as a representative late-period Poirot , illustrating efforts to engage with contemporary social issues like the of young women in urban settings, yet often faulting it for rushed pacing and implausible twists that dilute the traditional puzzle. In Christie bibliographies and rankings, it is typically placed in the mid-tier of her works, reflecting a transitional phase where innovation in theme sometimes overshadowed plotting rigor. The novel's legacy remains divided, with enthusiasts valuing its and evocative atmosphere as a snapshot of culture, while detractors point to a decline in puzzle complexity relative to earlier masterpieces, contributing to its status as a polarizing entry in her canon.
