Dumb Witness

Agatha Christie

3.77 AVERAGE


Another great solve. Another great Christie book. This time we have Poirot´s Watson in the mix, I absolutely adore every Poirot/Hastings interaction. The second half of the story is truly page-turner.

 

“Hércules Poirot caza asesinos.”

Me ha gustado mucho, desorienta bastante al lector al inicio, pero el final es muy bueno ya que no solo quien comete el crimen queda al descubierto si no varios sospechosos y sus no tan impecables acciones. Siempre es bueno tener más de un secreto que sacar a la luz.

Poirot siempre me gusta más cuando lo acompaña alguien de su confianza, lo humaniza más y disfruto mucho más esas historias. En Testigo mudo, su amigo Hastings va con él a todos lados y eso crea unas conversaciones de lo más fascinantes.

Siempre es buen momento para leer a Agatha Christie, y este caso es buen ejemplo para aquellos que quieran empezar a leerla por algo no tan popular.

 
“Entre los victorianos, no era habitual el optimismo sin fundamento. Podían lo peor con la mayor tranquilidad. Y Emily Arundell pensaba lo peor.”

Another dramatisation, well-executed.

These BBC full-cast dramatisations are going to spoil me for other audio dramas.

Much like Lessons in Chemistry, I really hate stories told from the dog’s POV. Luckily it’s minimal but still.
