Mrs. McGinty's Dead
Agatha Christie
40/229 pages
For the first book project of 7th grade I started by reading the mystery novel, Mrs. McGinty's Dead. French Detective, Hercule Poirot went to England to research on the evidence of who killed Mrs. McGinty. He first goes to Mrs. McGinty's old house where she had lived for around 20 years until her husband died. Then she lived there alone for 7 years. The town that she lived in was a dull and sad place, especially because someone who is thought to be innocent is being hanged. James Bentley, a kind man who helped out Mrs. McGinty since her husband died, was thought to be the murderer. Hercule Poirot was the only one who thought there was still hope for Mr. Bentley. Mr. Poirot had gone to the previous boss of Mr. James Bentley, who had said (sarcastically) "while there is life there is hope, eh" That would actually just ruin Hercule's mood for the day. Most importantly, all of this is happening in the 1800's. I myself find this book very sad and it is starting to get a bit exiting because now the niece has also been accused and the husband to the niece of Mrs. McGinty too. So who is it. Is it James, is it the Niece, or is it the Niece's husband. It's a good book to read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery novels.
