Recently finished "Third Girl", by Agatha Christie, which was originally published in 1966.
A girl visits Hercule Poirot, saying that she thinks she may have committed a murder, but then flees before she tells her story. Poirot investigates the circumstances, and uncovers a complex web of circumstances. Pretty good, and an interesting look at London in the "swinging 60s" as seen from the viewpoint of someone of an older generation (Poirot, who is of course reflecting Christie's own - generally disapproving - view of the changes that have occurred in society.)
Recommended mainly from the viewpoint of the description of 1960s London, although the crime has interest, too.
