“Third Girl” is a detective novel by Agatha Christie, featuring her famous detective Hercule Poirot. The story follows Poirot as he investigates the case of a young woman, Norma Restarick, who confesses to a murder but later claims she is unsure whether she actually committed the crime.
The novel begins when a troubled young woman, Norma Restarick, visits Poirot and confesses to the murder of her roommate, Andrew Restarick. Norma believes she may have killed Andrew in a fit of anger but is unsure due to gaps in her memory. Poirot is intrigued by the case and begins to investigate.
As Poirot delves deeper into the lives of Norma and the people around her, he uncovers a complex web of family secrets, hidden motives, and long-buried resentments. He discovers that Norma is the “third girl” in a shared apartment, along with two other young women, and that Andrew Restarick was not actually her cousin, as she believed, but a former lover.
Through his investigation, Poirot learns that Norma has been deeply affected by her troubled family history and her strained relationship with her mother, who neglected her as a child. He also discovers that Norma’s memory gaps are the result of psychological trauma and repressed memories.
As Poirot unravels the truth behind the murder, he uncovers a shocking twist that reveals the identity of the real killer and the tragic events that led to Andrew Restarick’s death. The novel concludes with Poirot solving the case and bringing the true culprit to justice, while also providing closure for Norma and helping her to move on from her troubled past.
