Summary

Everyone blamed Emily’s accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs by her frisky terrier. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her.

On April 17th she wrote her suspicions in a letter to Hercule Poirot. Mysteriously he didn’t receive the letter until June 28th… by which time Emily was already dead…

Excellent Poirot murder mystery.

Miss Arendil is rich and old and she writes a will for the benefit of her nephews and niece's.
Then things turn to murder.
Brilliant audio book, well narrated by High Fraser.

Engaging story

Hugh Fraser is amazing at reading these stories and he gets Poirot perfectly. Kept me guessing until very near the end. Very enjoyable bedtime listen.

A mystery waiting to be solved

A house full of suspects and plenty of means and motives. Agatha Christie has done it again. Poirot, after receiving a delayed letter, continues to investigate a considered natural death of an old lady who believes someone was trying to kill her. Well worth a credit.

A tricky but intriguing case

I will say it again: Hugh Fraser is marvellous. This was a great audio book! A tricky case but comprehensible, when Poirot explains it all of course! It was a little bit morbid at the end, with conflicting feelings on how Poirot brought the case to a close. The last chapter, though, is so wonderful as Hastings and Poirot get a dog!

A unique Poirot

A very enjoyable Poirot - a unique way of telling the story and Bob the Dog is great addition.

A cracking detective novel

Perfect for a long journey on a winter's day, Dumb Witness makes the time fly. Bob, the 'dumb witness' of the title, made a far better detective than I did and I needed Hercule's elegant expose at the end to let me into the secret of 'who dunnit'! Most enjoyable.

Dumb Witness

A fragile lady has her family down for Easter, while they were there she fell down the stairs or did she? Poor Bob the dog gets the blame.
The shock comes after a couple of weeks when she dies and the will is read and then Poriot received a letter two months after she'd died begging for his help
