The swimming pool is located in the center of the manor, surrounded by chestnut trees. There are a total of 5 roads leading to the swimming pool. People in the manor came to the swimming pool from five paths, almost at the same time. Including Poirot. Everyone saw the doctor's wife standing there blankly with a revolver in her hand. It looked as if she had killed the doctor. This seems to be a very simple case. But before the doctor died, he said the name of the female sculptor.

Spoilers spoilers spoilers The crux of the matter is, which one of the people on the scene has the temperament of a murderer? There is no doubt that Gerda, who is stubborn and stupid but thinks she is not that stupid, is hidden under absolute worship and obedience. She seems to be under absolute control, but in fact she is also a madman with the desire for absolute control. Where does hate come most easily? From love.

The plot of this book is engaging, like an intricate puzzle, with each character having their own secrets and motivations. I especially like Detective Poirot, I am impressed by his intelligence and insight. Moreover, Agatha Christie's writing is very visual, and reading it is like watching a wonderful movie. This book is very suitable for friends who like mystery novels, and you will definitely not be disappointed!

The characterization of this book is truly the pinnacle.

This book gave me a very calm feeling. The plot does not actually revolve around Poirot. There is no very thrilling plot in the whole book, and the story does not develop as fast as Orient Express. But this book explores love very profoundly. The essence, contradictions and inexplicable things of love are completely revealed in Grandma's writing. People sometimes love to read exciting detective novels too much, but a great detective can always see into people's hearts.

Why do I feel that everyone in the House of Fantasy has great love? Grandma's design is great [Like]

That's awesome, that's all I can say (¯▽¯)👍

Yes, I have to see the ending, otherwise I won't be able to sleep! [Laughing][laughing][laughing]

Each character has a distinct personality. I guessed wrongly at first and thought the doctor committed suicide [facepalm]. It's a very unique and interesting book.
