Mrs. McGinty's Dead

Mrs. McGinty is dead and everyone suspects James Bentley, her slightly shifty lodger. In fact, James is facing a trial for an almost certain open-and-shut case. But Superintendent Spence is suspicious enough to ask for Hercule Poirot's assistance. Soon, the seemingly simple situation turns into a complex web of lies and hidden identities. Novelist Ariadne Oliver (Agatha Christie's alter ego) joins the hunt to find the real murderer in this irresistible whodunit brought to life by popular Christie reader Hugh Fraser.
