THE CLOCKS (1963)by Agatha ChristieSynopsis: Sheila Webb, typist-for-hire, has arrived at 19 Wilbrah

THE CLOCKS (1963)by Agatha ChristieSynopsis: Sheila Webb, typist-for-hire, has arrived at 19 Wilbraham Crescent in the seaside town of Crowdean to accept a new job. What she finds is a well-dressed corpse surrounded by five clocks. Mrs. Pebmarsh, the blind owner of No. 19, denies all knowledge of ringing Sheila’s secretarial agency and asking for her by name – yet someone did. Nor does she own that many clocks. And neither woman seems to know the victim. Colin Lamb, a young intelligence specialist working a case of his own at the nearby naval yard, happens to be on the scene at the time of Sheila Webb’s ghastly discovery. Lamb knows of only one man who can properly investigate a crime as bizarre and baffling as what happened inside No. 19 – his friend and mentor, Hercule Poirot. My review: This is an amazing and a little funny, crime mystery book that had me hooked from the moment i started reading it. I liked it because the case was so complicted that my mind kept running through the whole thing, i made up theories, but in the end Agatha surprised, like she always does. Poirot wasn’t that much present during the case, but it wasn’t a bad thing because we get to know the other characters who are interesting too. Agatha adds a bit of humour and romance in this story that made me love it even more.4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- source link
