Hercule Poirot is in the Conservatory and has taken each person aside for questioning. At present he speaks with Mr Green.
Lady Giada sits nervously on a bench while fanning herself.
Sullivan McPig starts sniffing all the flowers in the conservatory - at least the ones he can reach.
And you, you inspect the variegated roses as you await your turn with M. Poirot.
Out of the corner of your eye you spy: a knife sticking out of the dirt in one of the planter boxes
Things to note about Poirot:
--> Poirot operates as a fairly conventional, clue-based detective, depending on logic, which is represented in his vocabulary by two common phrases: his use of "the little grey cells" and "order and method".
--> Poirot's methods focus on getting people to talk.
--> Poirot is also willing to appear more foreign or vain than he really is in an effort to make people underestimate him.
M. Poirot quits Mr Green and beckons the next person.
Poirot discovered that...
Mr. Green's family is made up of shysters. His dad is a low down thief and his mom tells fortunes wherever and whenever she can. Guess what: she’s not a psychic. Mr. Green found a calling in spirituality. This means he sets up traveling tents and asks people to give him money, which is for the less fortunate people and that means the money is for him. During his travels, “Reverend” Green met and had certain dealings with Mr. Boddy. Did Mr. Boddy have something on the Reverend? -Mr Green bio

Surely Mr. Green is a shady man.

Over the few days I have finished four mystery books by John Dickson Carr (The Blind Barber, To Wake the Dead, The Crooked Hinge, and The Case of the Constant Suicides) all of which were awesome. His writing reminds me of Agatha Christie's.

I Love Agatha Christie. I read this book over 35 yrs ago. I had to giveaway all of my Christie books (over 30 I think) when I divorced as No where to put all the books I had. Over 1100 were given to the local Friends of the Library in 1986. I do miss my special books..
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this one. Pls enter me in the drawing.

It's been awhile since I read a mystery. The last one I read was The Girl on Legare Street by Karen White.

I've recently read the Complete Sherlock Holmes stories for the 3rd time. I can't get enough of Holmes and Watson solving me some crimes. ;)
