Audio Partners • 2004

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 six 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.

Hercule Poirot a zákerný vrah. Hodiny od Agathy Christie v novom vydaní

Sumár recenzie
Detektívny román Hodiny od Agathy Christie, ktorý vyšiel v novom vydaní, je jedným z jej najznámejších diel. V knihe sa nachádza komplikovaná zápletka s prekvapivým rozuzlením, ktoré osloví fanúšikov detektívnych príbehov. Táto detektívka zaujme dvomi spájanými príbehmi - jedným týkajúcim sa špionáže inšpirovanej skutočnosťou a druhým s čistou detektívnou líniou zabudovanou v príbehu. Hlavným vyšetrovateľom je Hercule Poirot, ktorý v románe hodnotí aj iných literárnych detektívov a ich autorov.
