La señora McGinty ha muerto

Mrs. McGinty, an elderly widow, has been brutally murdered. All the evidence points to her lodger, James Bentley, a sullen man with financial problems who has been sentenced to hang. However, convinced that Bentley's clumsiness is incompatible with the cold-bloodedness of the crime, Superintendent Spence asks Hercule Poirot for help. The detective will have to leave his comfortable London life for a dilapidated boarding house in the small rural town of Broadhinny. There, he will find the clue that everyone else has overlooked: days before her death, Mrs. McGinty clipped an article about four women who disappeared without a trace. With the help of his friend, the novelist Ariadne Oliver, Poirot will discover that this little English village is not as idyllic as it seems.
