In this novel, Hercule Poirot is attracted to yet another curious case. At a party, he overhears a popular actress's plan to get rid of her husband, Lord Edgware. She claims that he is "strange" and refuses a divorce, but does not say why. Not even days later, the Lord is found murdered in his library. Naturally, everybody would suspect his wife, who constantly bragged of her plans to do away with him, but at the exact time of his murder, she is with many friends at a grand party! It is not possible that she could not be in two places at once. But of course, no case is too much for Hercule Poirot, as he once again finds the murderer. This book is perfect for anybody who enjoys mystery novels, especially more complicated cases. Agatha Christie is not a writer who would have a simple solution, so this book may not be the one for a classic mystery lover.

I've heard of Agatha Christie. I haven't read any of her books yet but this will be the first book I will read of hers. I love mysteries.
