Which Agatha Christie novel is this?

Germany
I am German, but I have read many of Agatha Christie's novels in English too.
In the back of my mind is a novel that I must have read several years ago and which I would love to read again, but I can't remember which one it was.
what I remember:
it was set in the English countryside
I think it had Poirot in it, but not sure
the suspects were all living in some sort of chalets or cottages, not in a typical village
one of the suspects was on old millionaire, or major, he had a foreign servant (Indian, African?) and the detective commented how hot it was inside the cottage, which was probably because the servant wasn't used to the cold English climate
I know this is very vague, maybe it sounds familiar to someone.
Thank you very much for your help.

thank you for the suggestion.
I ready Murder is Easy a few weeks ago, so it's definitely not Murder is Easy.
I know it's like finding a needle in haystack. I am sorry I can't recall any more details.

You were exactly right.
I just had a look inside the book and it's definitely The Sittaford Mystery.
I knew there was a country house and some smaller rented out houses/cottages.
Very happy to have found this. Will read it over the weekend.
Some of my favourite Agatha Christie novels I have read up to ten times, but this one I have read only once or twice, so it escaped my mind.
Also, many books have completely different titles in German, so sometimes it gets confusing.
Thank you so much
