Hickory Dickory Dock: A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

A well constructed thriller, even if Poirot was a bit scarce. Enough red herrings for sure and an unexpected ending, Showcases Christie's genius better than most.

Death is scheduled on the calendar; not interrupting anyone too much, creating volunteer charity work to do. Solving various problems at crime scenes and tying up loose ends in the days afterward. The victim is always the area the crime scenes are in; the deceased has a first & last name. Money is a bit separate from area company supply stores; therefore, is directly applied to a person's worth. The calendar is first priority set by companies for their supplies and employee schedule; money is for worth. Emotional language is reserved for the weather and never agrees well with characters. It usually their scene and they want to use their words for the area; weather ones just don't fit. They always lose their argument.

As usual, I was totally wrong as to who dunnit!! Although I had latched on to the smuggling idea early on, I was totally wrong as to who was involved. Oh well, on to the next one! Maybe I'll get this one right?!?!
