In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, Hercule Poirot investigates the strange case of a corpse surrounded by numerous timepieces in a blind woman's house. Sheila Webb expected to find a respectable blind lady waiting for her at 19 Wilbraham Crescent-not the body of a middle-aged man sprawled across the living room floor. But when old Miss Pebmarsh denies sending for her in the first place, or of owning all the clocks that surround the body, it's clear that they are going to need a very good detective. "This crime is so complicated that it must be quite simple, " declares Poirot. But there's a murderer on the loose, and time is ticking away.

The Clocks

Hercule Poirot and romance appear in most of the Poirot mysteries, and The Clocks follows that formula. The reader will need to read The Clocks to discover the romance. A good friend of Poirot’s, Colin Lamb, narrates the majority of the novel. Colin also does most of the investigating while helping Inspector Dick Hardcastle with the murder of an elderly, unknown man. As usual, more deaths occur before the case unravels. The mystery presents a secret from the past and the maternal yearnings of the most hardened woman. Poirot claims that he can solve the case from the comfort of his armchair, but Colin must do all the legwork to present Poirot with all the interesting and vital clues. Who is the better detective: Marple or Poirot? Each follows a specific pattern, but each technique leads to a result.

Fantastic!

I love the Poirot series. Poirot is such an intriguing character and the best part is that I never know “who done it” until the end. Even when I try really hard and have what I think is a good compilation of suspects, it is always someone who wasn’t even on my radar as a suspect.
