Summary: Really good until the end
Review: First of all, the set up to this story is excellent: the dead man in the blind woman's house, the mysterious phone call luring the stenographer there under false pretenses and the use of the clocks of the title to throw the police and the reader off the track. But then Christie gets over complicated and tries to wrap things up too quickly and the story concludes on a confusing note. The characters however are all unique especially the ones in the neighborhood where the dead body was found but they're mostly there to distract you away from the real killer, whose motives seem overly complex.
Poirot is regulated to background status here but as usual, he provides the most humor and enjoyment. Read for him and the supporting cast. The outcome sadly never reaches the same level as the great beginning.

Summary: The Clocks
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I would recomend this book to other readers. I found this book to be suspensefull and full of suprises. The book gives you clues on who the killer is. You use those clues to figure it out, and then you find out that your wrong. Finding out that I am wrong drives me insane sometimes, but that is what makes the book good. I would not mind if I had to read more Agatha Christie books, I think I would enjoy those just as much as I did this one. I could not help liking this book, and I think those who do not like to read would enjoy this book too. It was fantastic and had so many details so you could understand everthing that is going on. This is also part of the reason I like this book. I can say that I will read more of these books and I encourage everyone else to too.

Summary: Trust No Clue (hehe)
Review: The first time I read this novel, I had to reread it again. Why? So many questions still linger at the end of the story even though the pages has ended. I wondered and reread and after the third reading, I finally got it all.The Clocks is a story that has two main plots, and the one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. But they were connected in a way when a young typist finds a dead body in a livingroom of a blind woman. From there it's red herring all the way. But bits of real clues emerge when Mr Lamb (a fake name) talks to a girl with a broken leg. Poirot only comes in now and then but became more interested when another murder occurs, while Lamb becomes Poirot's legs, ears and eyes. Oh yes, there are clues aplenty, but a broken high heel has never been this important as a clue. Christie delivers this story with delightful take that neither too wordy nor too lengthy. This is another often neglected classic Christie, so get it.
