How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secert military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And who destroyed the 'eternal triangle' of love involving renowned beauty, Valentine Chantry?
Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases - Murder in the Mews, The Incredible Theft, Dead Man's Mirror and Triangle at Rhodes - each a miniature classic of characterisation, incident and suspense.
It's a good story. Will buy more books from agatha, my favourite writer.
The skills of observation and putting the observed items into a story of how and who are the same for Hercule and Sherlock. The fact all the observed items are also available to the reader yet the reader can't solve the murder himself or herself create a mood of anticipation until the moment of unveiling so the reader can see the clues observed earlier and, "of course" now it all falls on place. "How come I didn't see that?
This is a fantastic mystery story. The twists will leave the reader with an intricate but believable solution.
This book kept me amused and curious throughout the entire process of how the murder was perceived and how it truly happened. Anything by Agatha Christie is always good.
