Why read it?
1 author picked Dumb Witness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Agatha Christie, and I love her fussy, brilliant detective, Hercule Poirot. This novel has all the hallmarks of a classic Christie—grand English home, mysterious death, greedy relatives, dark shenanigans, with the added bonus of Bob the terrier whose penchant for a certain red rubber ball is a key part of the mystery.
From Amy's list on dog sidekicks nothing happens to the good boys.
