Fiction by Agatha Christie
At the beginning of this story, discovered in the front room of a blind woman's house, we have: a shorthand typist, several stopped clocks set to exactly 4:13, and a murdered man. The woman herself has no idea how any of those things arrived. They certainly weren't there before she went out shopping that afternoon.
This book is listed at the 34th Hercule Poirot mystery, which is an amazingly high number! However, the famed detective is not a prominent character this time; he shows up in time to solve the case, but mostly stays out of the action. (This is a good thing in my opinion; I like his solutions but he can be a tiresome character.)
I also read recently by this author: A Caribbean Mystery
