Lord Edgware dies by Agatha Christie

Lord Edgware dies by Agatha Christie is a murder mystery solved by Hercule Poirot. I saw the review for it on Kelly’s blog, so I’ve decided to borrow and read it. I’m very glad I did that because the book was very good. I enjoyed the mystery and the solution was unexpected.

The plot is simple: Poirot is asked by Jane, Lady Edgware, to mediate on her behalf with her husband. She wanted a divorce and he was opposing it. Poirot talks to him, but soon after, Lord Edgware is killed. As his wife said in front of Poirot that she wants to “get rid” of her husband, she is a prime suspect. But she has a good alibi, as she was attending a dinner party. Who killed Lord Edgware?

As I mentioned, the solution is unexpected. I didn’t think that the killer was the person who is revealed at the end of the book. It was fascinating and the book overall was great, a fast read, and lovely.

About the author: Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, as the youngest of three. Before marrying and starting a family in London, she had served in a Devon hospital during the First World War, tending to troops coming back from the trenches. During the First World War, she worked at a hospital as a nurse; later working at a hospital pharmacy, a job that influenced her work, as many of the murders in her books are carried out with poison. During the Second World War, she worked as a pharmacy assistant at University College Hospital, London, acquiring a good knowledge of poisons which feature in many of her novels.
Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, came out in 1920. During her first marriage, Agatha published six novels, a collection of short stories, and a number of short stories in magazines. In 1930, Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan (Sir Max from 1968) after joining him in an archaeological dig. Their marriage was especially happy in the early years and remained so until Christie’s death in 1976.
