Volume 28 in the Unabridged Agatha Christie collection, read by Hugh Fraser. Everyone blamed Emily's accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs by her frisky terrier. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her. On April 17th she wrote her suspicions in a letter to Hercule Poirot. Mysteriously he didn't receive the letter until June 28th! by which time Emily was already dead!

A typical Christie Classic

**** (4 stars out of 5)
If this is not the first Poirot you are reading, you will find all the excitement and fun you are looking for magnified, (those which are associated with Poirot).
It is one of those murder mysteries where every one of the concerned characters are equally probable murderers (in the ind of the reader), with very few clues to pin point to one.
Yet, it is what the ordinary eye cannot see, or rather the ordinary ear that does not note, which is noted by the trained and ordered mind of Hercule Poirot.
The end of the mystery - which bears the typical A.Christie trait of all characters in one room and Poirot explaining - is too good. I was totally flabbergasted when the book reveals the murderer. What's more, Poirot had already formed a valid theory (those that is pointed out by the facts, mon ami !!!) since the middle of the book.
This book also has Hastings which is always more fun than Poirot alone.
All in all, you will enjoy reading it.
I give it 4 stars out of 5.
