Dumb Witness

Agatha Christie

3.77 AVERAGE


Everyone blamed Emily Arundell’s accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs by her terrier Bob. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her.
So, on April 17th she wrote to Hercule Poirot. And included a request that he consult with her as soon as possible. Mysteriously he didn’t receive the letter until June 28th … by which time Emily was already dead.

I love the way that Christie writes Bob's interactions with Hastings.

Actually guessed who the murderer was! Found the very ending with the dog, really cute, but the rest was just ok.
