Mrs. McGinty's Dead by Agatha Christie
4.0
Another good Hercule Poirot story that keeps the reader guessing until the very end.
Yet again Christie tells another interesting hook as Poirot is told by Superintendent Spence of his suspicions that convicted James Bentley might not be the real culprit of Mrs Mcgintys death, with only days before his is hung time is of the essence for his name to be cleared.
It soon becomes apparent that the true motive is much more than the £30 that was stolen.
It's a fascinating mystery that is helped along by the various characters, not least Ariadne Oliver - the fictional crime writer in this series.
Her quips of poor adaptations of her works and the struggles of writing a foreign detective is clearly from Christie herself.
