Mrs McGinty's Dead

Reader:

Agatha Christie was an English crime novelist, short-story writer and playwright. Her reputation rests on 66 detective novels and 14 short-story collections that have sold over two billion copies. Christie's writing career began during the war after she was challenged by her sister to write a detective story. She produced The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which was turned down by two publishers before it was published in 1920. Christie wrote more Poirot stories than any of the others, even though she thought the character to be "rather insufferable". Following the publication of the 1975 novel Curtain, Poirot's obituary appeared on the front page of The New York Times. Mrs McGinty's Dead was first published in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in February 1952 and in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 3 March the same year. Poirot’s splendid evening is interrupted by the presence of Superintendent Spence. He begs the detective to save the neck of a man whom the policeman has believed did not give his landlady a fatal blow on the back of her head. Nonetheless, James Bentley is remarkable. He is indifferent to the guilty verdict and unenthusiastic of being freed. Poirot wonders whether he cares to thank the upright superintendent whose conscience has told him that an innocent man may be hanged in three weeks’ time. Over five months ago Mrs McGinty was found by her next-door neighbour in the parlour of her cottage… Enjoy free online English audiobook “Mrs McGinty's Dead”, a novel by Agatha Christie.
