by Agatha Christie, also known as "Lord Edgware Dies," is a classic Hercule Poirot mystery. The story begins when the famous actress Jane Wilkinson asks Poirot to help her persuade her husband, Lord Edgware, to grant her a divorce. Shortly after their meeting, Lord Edgware is found murdered. Jane Wilkinson becomes the prime suspect, especially since she was seen visiting her husband's home that night. However, she has an airtight alibi—she was at a dinner party with twelve other people. Poirot, alongside his companion Captain Hastings, unravels a complex web of lies, mistaken identities, and clever misdirection. As the story unfolds, Poirot meticulously pieces together the clues, leading to a surprising and satisfying conclusion typical of Christie’s ingenious plotting.
