pickAn elderly man takes his dog out for a walk round the garden before going to bed. The next day he is found dead, drowned in the pond. Accident or murder?
I did notice some clues and realise their significance but still didn't manage to get all the way there.
I enjoy this series very much but this one was a bit of a departure. The focus was on Fry's assault in Birmingham. Lots of triggers for those with abuse issues, which made this hard for me to read. He handled the issue very well, but, you know, abuse survivors still might be triggered.
pickI love Agatha Christie! It is always a good choise, always entertaining with a twist I never see.
Mrs. Oliver looked at herself in the glass. She gave a brief, sideways look towards the clock on the mantelpiece, which she had some idea was twenty minutes slow.

so-soI couldn't relate to characters and I was really confused how detectives acted toward each others but also toward other people. There were scenes were they were rude, rolled their eyes etc. That was strange.
I loved this little village and it was cozy & atmospheric. But this being a mystery I thought I would get an intriguing plot and this wasn't that thrilling nor interesting as a mystery.
Thanks for recommendation @Andrew65 !

I spent far too long staring at this wondering what a dem-ist-er was before it clicked. 🙄 😳
#agathachristieclubR2 as mentioned a while back, I'm doing book judging for the ALA Reading List this year and our judging months are brutal. Therefore, I'm building in a break for December to help me out. Our January book will be Appointment with Death, which I know some of you have already read (sorry 😔), and I'm looking forward to discussing it with you! We're coming up on some of my favorite Christies this year!
3. These stories are closer to novellas than her typical short stories. Did you think this was successful? Would you have preferred them to be longer or shorter?
