The Mystery of the Second Cucumber

by Stephanie Laimer-Read

Overview

A crime story that Dame Agatha Christie never wrote, but probably should have done. Belgian detective Hercule Poirot investigates the grotesque death of Colonel Brindsley Arundel caused by, of all things, a cucumber. Poirot is helped by his famously incapable friend Captain Hastings and hindered by the Colonel's more than dysfunctional family. Who murdered the Colonel? Who killed beautiful actress Jane Rutherford? What do cucumbers have to do with it all?! An affectionate parody with all the traditional ingredients of a classic Christie whodunnit, plus rather more unusual riddles for the little grey cells to deal with.
