![]() ![]() I’ve read Lord Edgware Dies several times and still struggle to keep up with all the twists and misdirections of what turns out to be a very straightforward murder. So, who really visited Lord Edgware that night? Did the actress commit suicide or is someone hiding their tracks? And who murdered the third victim? Donald Ross was at the same party as Lady Edgware but was murdered while he was on the phone about to give Poirot the vital piece of evidence he needed to solve the case. Poirot thinks it’s more complicated than that, and despite finding no evidence to support his belief, he’s right. ![]() ![]() So, when an actress who does very good impressions of Lady Edgware is also found dead after taking an overdose of sleeping tablets, Inspector Japp immediately jumps to the conclusion that she’s the murderer and took her own life while suffering from remorse. The problem for Poirot is Lady Edgware was also seen at a dinner party in another part of London at exactly the same time. Among them, his estranged wife tells everybody she wants to kill her husband so it should be pretty straightforward when she’s seen briefly visiting him the night before he’s discovered lifeless in his library. So why there’s a revolver shown on the cover of my version of the book,I have no idea.Īnyway, Lord Edgware is not a popular man and many people have good reason to want him dead. ![]() Or, more accurately, is murdered, although no guns were used. As the title suggests, Lord Edgware dies. ![]()
