Review: Dumb Witness (Hercule Poirot, #17)
Gaby Meares
I thoroughly enjoyed this Poirot mystery. The ‘dumb witness’ in question is Bob, the resident terrier who is not only feisty but plays a vital roll in the going-ons at Littlegreen House. Christie obviously has great affection for dogs and has created a memorable character in Bob.
I had to quietly chuckle at the reference to Australia being where a difficult cousin had to be sent - a step below Coventry!
Oh, and the mysterious ‘murder’ is, as usual, intriguing!
