A solid read. I didn't guess the murderer at all!

This was an interesting mystery and a fast read, too. I really enjoyed it, and I was rather entertained by the descriptions of each character. My favorite was about the character Theresa Arundell, "There hung about her the restrained energy of a whiplash." Good mystery...I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie's works.
August 2013 update: Read this one again on my quest to read all of Dame Agatha's books. This time, I read a version titled Dumb Witness.

Since I like dogs, I was happy that a dog, Bob, is one of the stars in this book. An elderly lady dies. No one suspects that she is murdered, because what happened closely mimics a disease that she suffered from. But when her will is read, she has left her money to her companion, not her 3 nieces and nephews. They are livid! Hercule Poirot is able to determine that she was murdered, and who did it. Of course it is never the person whom you suspect.
Gotta love a book where the dog is the witness to the murder!
