Miss Arundel, an old and wealthy woman, falls down the stairs. Everyone blamed the accident on the ball left by the dog Bob at the top of the stairs, but the more Miss Arundel thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She believed that this was not an accident, but a blood relative trying to murder her.
Miss Arundel wrote down her suspicions and sent them to Poirot. This vague letter immediately aroused Poirot's interest, but he lost his client forever because Miss Arundel had passed away...

The plot of this book is so exciting! Just like what happened around me, sometimes things we think are accidents may have hidden secrets behind them. Agatha Christie's works always immerse me in them, feeling the charm of suspense and reasoning. I think Miss Arundel is very brave. She is not willing to believe in so-called "accidents" easily, which reminds me that this kind of spirit of daring to question is also needed in life. Looking forward to discussing more story details with you!
It was very exciting. I doubted everyone at the beginning, because what they said or said to others felt that they had deep meaning or were guiding others. Everyone had shortcomings, so before the end, I thought that I might as well give the inheritance to the two servants who have been with me for many years.
In the letters of pearl, I guessed the murderer
A wealthy old woman dies mysteriously, and all her relatives are greedy and telling lies. The puppy Bob becomes a silent key clue. The whole book is filled with misleading smoke and mirrors, peeling off the hypocritical masks of the family layer by layer, revealing the cold and evil thoughts spurred by money. The ending has an unexpected twist, using a murder case to reveal the fragility of family ties and the greed of human nature.
Unexpectedly, people are always good at pretending to be innocent. People always stand in their own perspective and make things true or false. They are subjective and cannot trust anyone easily.
How can a person be like a leech? We need both blood and meat, our lives and our money. Can we get something for nothing, and can we have peace of mind? Is it happier to be selfish?
Okay, guessed the wrong murderer again, I always suspected Lawson
The unpredictable murderer is so beautiful
Grandma's books are always so exciting!
Great, Pineapple has a dog [got it]
It gives people a mysterious feeling. You must try your best to be as quick and timely as possible. Keep reading!
