MRS. MCGINTY'S DEAD
(by Agatha Christie)
Summary:
Detective Hercule Poirot (Po-uh-ro) arrives home to see, much to his surprise, that he has a guest. Superintendent Spence was sitting in Poirots armchair with a serious look on his face. He immediately told Hercule that he needs his help with the McGinty case. An old woman was murdered at her cottage when no one else was there. Spence told Poirot that he gathered "facts" and that they all point at Mr. Bentley, a lodger in the same cottage Mrs. McGinty lived in. Spence said that he doesn't think Bentley did it. He thinks he was framed. Poirot and Spence went over all the suspects, motives and possible ways of killing. There were a lot of possibilities. Poirot had to investigate. He
rented a room in a house near the scene of the murder. Hercule went to interview McGinty's niece. She was not suspicious at all, rather sad. After the interview, her nervous husband went into the room. He behaved as if he was hiding something.
