    Dumb Witness is DUMB

    this book stinks. it had a really slow start and its about a old lady who tripped over the stairs because of the dog's little ball (Bob) and Poiort says its b/c of a little string that supposely tripped Miss Arundell. its just lame. I am a Chrisite fan but this book was not good at all.

    An Agatha Christie Must-Read

    This was the first Agatha Christie novel that I had ever read. As I began to read, I realized that I couldn't put the book down. This novel got me hooked on Agatha Christie's books and on the mystery genre in general. If you ever get the chance, read it!

    A Mute Witness

    Poirot receives a letter from an old, well off lady who says that someone is trying to kill her.One attempt has as already been made but it fails. Unfortunatly the same can not be said for the second attempt and the lady is dead before Poirot can even talk to her. The suspects are members of her family who all needed money but the only witness to this crime is the old lady's dog Bob.He ,of course, can not speak but can he in his own way show Poirot the killer?
