I would definitely recommend reading this book. With all it's twists and turns... And very surprising end.
It all started with the simple murder of Mrs. McGinty... Which Superintendent Spence investigated with all the evidence pointing to James Bentley as the murderer. But something in his gut made Superintendent Spence think that Bentley was innocent of this crime.
So Superintendent Spence enlists the help of our favorite detective Hercule Poirot to prove Bentley's innocence. Now Poirot is one the case we are introduced to Mr. & Mrs. Summerhayes, Dr. & Mrs. Rendell, Deirdre Henderson, Mr. & Mrs. Whetherby, Mrs. Upward and her son Robin Upward. And reintroduced to Mrs. Oliver.
A set of old photographs from the news paper is the only real clue to the murder of Mrs. McGinty... Which also leads to a second murder. In which a lot of misleading clues are left behind.
Who was the second victim? Who did the murderer try to pin the second murder on? Who is the murderer of both victims? How is the old photograph connected to the murderer? Read the book to find out.
