Book Description
When a young secretary, Sheila Webb, is sent to the home of a blind woman on an errand, she is horrified to discover a dead man behind the couch, surrounded by four clocks that have all been stopped at 4:13. The owner arrives home and denies that the clocks belong to her, the deceased's business card turns out to be a fraud, and a woman shows up claiming to be the dead man's wife. There is only one man who can unravel this complicated case: Hercule Poirot.

Not One of Christie's Best,
By MC (ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Clocks: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Audio CD)
I was intrigued by this mystery for two reasons: Hercule Poirot and the idea of the clocks. Unfortunately, Poirot appears only briefly and is not particularly well portrayed. The investigation itself is overly complicated has to do with everything but the clocks, and I was not particularly fond of the reader. Overall, this would likely be a dissapointing read for anyone looking to sink their teeth into a Poirot mystery.

Trust No Clue (hehe),
By "madonluv" (MY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clocks (Bonded Leather)
The first time I read this novel, I had to reread it again. Why? So many questions still linger at the end of the story even though the pages has ended. I wondered and reread and after the third reading, I finally got it all.The Clocks is a story that has two main plots, and the one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. But they were connected in a way when a young typist finds a dead body in a livingroom of a blind woman. From there it's red herring all the way. But bits of real clues emerge when Mr Lamb (a fake name) talks to a girl with a broken leg. Poirot only comes in now and then but became more interested when another murder occurs, while Lamb becomes Poirot's legs, ears and eyes. Oh yes, there are clues aplenty, but a broken high heel has never been this important as a clue. Christie delivers this story with delightful take that neither too wordy nor too lengthy. This is another often neglected classic Christie, so get it.
