Murder in the Mews and Other Stories is a short story collection by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in the UK by Collins Crime Club on 15 March 1937. Once there, they find that the doctor thinks there is something strange about the death of valentine’s presents for fiance fine lady, a young widow.

Japp and Poirot find further clues: the gun has been wiped clean of fingerprints, and large sums of money have been withdrawn from Mrs Allen’s bank account on several occasions, but there is no trace of money in the house. They also learn from a neighbour that Mrs Allen had a gentleman caller the previous evening whose description doesn’t match her fiancé. Miss Plenderleith proves to have an impeccable alibi for the time of the death, and Poirot and Japp interview Charles Laverton-West. He is stunned to find out that a murder investigation is taking place and admits that he himself has no sound alibi. They also try to see Major Eustace and hear that he has gone off to play golf.

The mention of this suddenly makes Poirot see everything clearly. On a pretext, Poirot makes Japp call at the mews house. While they are there, Poirot sneaks another look at the cupboard under the stairs and sees that the attaché-case is gone. As Miss Plenderleith has just come back from playing golf at Wentworth, they go there and learn that she was seen on the links with the case.
