I finally got a hold of this classic book from Agatha Christie, and I was satisfied to finish this one. The title itself made me curious—how does a dog become a witness? And there it was, when I read it, the story unfolded right before my eyes.
It's not a new plot to me when the alleged crime was seemingly thought to be caused by a family feud over money. My suspicions revolved around the family members and somehow, because of the author's descriptive narration, I would still be confused who the culprit was. And yet, the conclusion surprised me since the mastermind was just right in front of me. I just needed to understand the person's psychology to solve the crime.
Poirot's series still fascinates me. While I am reading various authors' works, I know I will go and pick his adventures in between, since I am most mystified what Agatha Christie's themes are in each book from this series.

There is about as much subtance in this entire novel as there is just in the blurb... much like 'Cards on the Table' it relies heavily on interrogations. Any tension is created purely through suspicious questioning to cover up the fact that nothing much is really happening.
And there's so much speculation that simply ends up being right?? C'mon now! Where's the venture? Where's the blunder?
You know I love to see my dream duo together again,, but boy is all this visiting people a bit of a slog!
*Shoutout to Bob, my unproblematic fave.*
