A beautiful actress asks Hercule Poirot to help her “get rid of” her husband, only to be turned away. But when Lord Edgware Dies soon after, Hercule Poirot is the only man who can prove her innocence. This book is Agatha Christie’s 9th title in the series featuring the little Belgian Detective. Summary of the Book The actress Jane Wilkinson approaches Hercule Poirot in an attempt to get him to help her escape her husband. Poirot refuses, stating he does not take such cases. Soon, Lord Edgware is found dead, and everyone pins the murder on Jane. However, Poirot is unconvinced. Jane Wilkinson got the divorce she so badly craved, she was free of his clutches. What motive could she possibly have now? He is confident that she did not kill her ex-husband. But that begs the question, if not her, then who?
