First Lines Friday – 20 May 2022

First Lines Friday is a weekly feature hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

Here’s how it works!

Miss Arundell died on May 1st.

 

Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie

As of writing this post, I haven’t started reading Dumb Witness yet. My goal is to read it this weekend for the TBR Tackle Challenge Readathon and I’m hoping it will help me get back into the reading groove again.

From Goodreads: Everyone blamed Emily Arundell’s accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs at her home in Market Basing by her frisky terrier, Bob. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her.

So, on April 17th she wrote about her anxieties and suspicions in a letter to Hercule Poirot. And included a request that he consult with her as soon as possible. Mysteriously he didn’t receive the letter until June 28th … by which time Emily was already dead.
