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)

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.
