Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie

4.0


Lord Edgware is murdered shortly after his wife, Jane Wilkinson, has openly confessed to Poirot and Hastings that she would love to bump him off because he won't agree to a divorce. She is the obvious suspect but the time of Lord Edgware's death coincides with a dinner gathering that Lady Edgware attends with twelve friends. So Jane's alibi is cemented and Poirot must exercise his grey cells.

There are suspects aplenty in this whodunnit and multiple murders. For us, and our unreliable biographer Captain Hastings, it's even more perplexing because famed actors and actresses are involved plus the common assortment of family, friends and servants. So many twists and people with possible intent that, for me, anyone could have done it... particularly because Lord Edgware was an unpleasant person.

Another engrossing mystery where I was clueless!
