Fiction by Agatha Christie
In this story, a charwoman who takes in lodgers is murdered, apparently by the dodgy young man who rented a room from her. In fact, the man is convicted by a jury of his disapproving peers and sentenced to hang. But Superintendent Spence doesn't think he did it, and he enlists the help of Hercule Poirot to prove it, hoping to find out the truth before the guy gets the noose.
I don't think it would be a spoiler to say: Hercule Poirot comes through on this.
I have read this book more than once, and I still wasn't sure who the real killer was. Amazing!
I also read recently by this author: Taken at the Flood
