Dumb Witness
Miss Emily was old, rich, and afraid--and now, she's dead. Her terrified plea to Hercule Poirot came a little too late. All that's left is a house full of greedy heirs, and a very strange letter that could solve the mystery--or add to it.

Agatha Christie sets the stage by allowing readers into the home of Emily Arundell. Miss Arundell has never married. She has three relations left in t...
To dispense with the mystery: it was fine. Hercule was in fine fettle, and Hastings was his usual dim sidekick. But the talking dog? Whaaaaat? Thank FSM that she never used this plot device again (please tell me she never used this plot device again). Because it did not work at all, and was weir...
