LOVE Bob

Haiku
...

It begins at night
A curious incident
It ends in green light
.
.
The lady misleads
As she often does, and yet
The mind of a dog
.
.
Special type of love
Like a pet begging for treats
Greedy relations
.
.
In breeding such hate
One's vintage life is at stake
World of mock privilege

Zupelnie inna, lecz całkiem fajna. Początek lekko nużący. Zgadłem kto, ale nie całkowity proces.

Poirot receives a letter, of course, so he and Hastings travel to a quaint town, of course. There is one obvious clue, and Poirot takes a surprising action to force the killer's hand.

“The dog hunts rabbits. Hercule Poirot hunts murderers.”

Funny how one forgets... I read this two years ago and somehow forgot who the culprit was! Some scenes were clear, but that fact had vanished. Actually, that was excellent - I could re-experience the murder mystery :O)

Once more, we have a totally bad bunch of people, all behaving in the most calculating ways. Who looks the guiltiest? Or perhaps it should be the other way around? Fear not - Poirot and Hastings are on the case.

Another enjoyable read. I think Christie used the dog/ball/accident in another story, a short story. It was found, in her notebooks (if my memory is correct), that she he had several plots, all rather different, that started with this incident. Yep - how did that brain work ;O)
