Le Mysterieux mr Quinn / Un meurtre est-il facile?

Two trains

 Side by side for a brief moment

 In that moment, a murder

 Elspeth McGillicuddy is positive she witnessed a man strangling a woman to death.

 But it was only the merest glimpse through a carriage window as the trains drew parallel.

 She is the only witness, there are no suspects, and, most importantly, there is no corpse.

 Who, apart from her friend Jane Marple, would take her seriously?

 Never underestimate Miss Marple

 'Never a dull moment.'

 The Times

4.50 from Paddington

Hercule Poirot is determined to solve an old husband and wife double murder that is still an open verdict...  Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. Here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies - a husband and wife - shot dead.  But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder? Poirot delves back into the past and discovers that ''old sin leave long shadows''.

ELEPHANTS CAN REMEMBER

Il n'y a pas qu'Alfred Inglethorp à tirer profit du meurtre de sa femme : il y a aussi ses beaux-enfants et Cynthia, protégée de la défunte. Tous auraient pu se procurer la strychnine qui a tué Mrs Inglethorp. Mais cela n'explique ni l'obstination qu'Hercule Poirot met à empêcher l'arrestation d'Inglethorp ni la passivité d'Inglethorp devant les charges qui pèsent sur lui. Il est vrai aussi qu'on n'a trouvé aucun indice. Et pourtant, il y en a...Grâce à un feu allumé au coeur de l'été, à une empreinte sur une plate-bande et à une tache de café, Poirot arrachera des aveux au meurtrier et trouvera la solution de cette affaire de Styles qui, pour être le premier roman d'AgathaChristie, n'en est pas moins l'un des plus ingénieux.
