The Clocks (Hercule Poirot Series, Book #34) by Agatha Christie
Sheila Webb expected to find a respectable blind lady waiting for her at 19 Wilbraham Crescent -- not the body of a middle-aged man sprawled across the living room floor. But when Old Miss Pebmarsh denies sending for her in the first place or owning all the clocks that surround the body, it's clear that they will need a very good detective.
"This crime is so complicated that it must be quite simple," declares Hercule Poirot. But there's a murderer on the loose, and time is ticking away.
WILLIAM MORROW, SOFTCOVER, 1963, 2011
Synopsis
E-book exclusive extras:1) Christie biographer Charles Osborne's essay on The Clocks;2) "The Poirots": the complete guide to all the cases of the great Belgian detective.Sheila Webb, typist-for-hire, has arrived at 19 Wilbraham Crescent in the seaside town of Crowdean to accept a new job. What she finds is a well-dressed corpse surrounded by five clocks. Mrs Pebmarsh, the blind owner of No. 19, denies all knowledge of ringing Sheila’s secretarial agency and asking for her by name—yet someone did. Nor does she own that many clocks. And neither woman seems to know the victim. Colin Lamb, a young intelligence specialist working a case of his own at the nearby naval yard, happens to be on the scene at the time of Sheila Webb’s ghastly discovery. Lamb knows of only one man who can properly investigate a crime as bizarre and baffling as what happened inside No. 19 — his friend and mentor, Hercule Poirot.
