Christie said the titles of this novel and Ordeal by Innocence were her favourites amongst her own works. • Towards the end of the Second World War, Charles Hayward is in Cairo and falls in love with Sophia Leonides, a smart, successful Englishwoman who works for the Foreign Office. They put off getting engaged until the end of the war when they will be reunited in England. • Hayward returns home and reads a death notice in The Times: Sophia's grandfather, the wealthy entrepreneur Aristide Leonides, has died, aged 85. Due to the war, the whole family has been living with him in a sumptuous but ill-proportioned house called Three Gables , the crooked house of the title. The autopsy reveals that Leonides was poisoned with his own eserine-based eye medicine via an insulin injection. Sophia tells Charles that she can't marry him until the matter is cleared up. • The obvious suspects are Brenda Leonides, Aristide's much younger second wife, and Laurence Brown, a conscientious objector who has been living in the house as private tutor to Sophia's younger brother and sister, Eustace and Josephine. They are rumoured to have been carrying on an illicit love affair under old Leonides's nose. The family members hope these two prove to be the murderers because they despise Brenda as a gold digger and also hope to escape the scandal that a different outcome would bring. Charles agrees to help his father, an assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard, to investigate the crime. He becomes a house guest at Three Gables, hoping that someone might reveal a clue at an unguarded moment. • Charles, afraid for Josephine's life, tries in vain to induce her to disclose the murderer's name. Edith de Haviland invites Josephine to come out with her in the car for an ice cream soda. The car drives over a cliff and both are killed. Back at Three Gables, Charles finds two letters from Miss de Haviland. One is a suicide note for Chief Inspector Taverner taking responsibility, although not explicitly confessing, to the murders of Aristide and Nanny. The second letter, intended for Sophia and Charles only, reveals the truth of the matter: Josephine was the murderer. As proof, de Haviland has enclosed the child's secret notebook, the first line of which reads Today I killed grandfather. • Full Playlist: • Crooked House by Agatha Christie • Josephine killed her grandfather because he wouldn't pay for her ballet lessons; she then revelled in all the attention she received afterwards and planned her own assault with the marble doorstop as a way of diverting attention. She poisoned Nanny for encouraging Magda to send her to Switzerland, and also because Nanny called her a silly little girl . She also included threats against Magda if her mother seriously considered sending her away. Miss de Haviland had discovered Josephine's notebook hidden in a dog kennel, and committed the murder-suicide car crash as she did not want Josephine to suffer in a prison or asylum if and when the police learned she was the murderer. • Topic Covered: • Crooked House agatha christie • agatha christie Crooked House • Agatha Christie Audiobook Hugh Fraser • venice haunting • poirot Crooked House • Crooked House poirot • Crooked House audiobook • Crooked House agatha christie audiobook • agatha christie Crooked House audiobook • hercule poirot Crooked House • the Crooked House agatha christie • agatha christie audiobook Crooked House • Crooked House agatha christie audiobook • Crooked House hercule poirot • Crooked House • agatha christie's Crooked House • poirot Crooked House • agatha christie's poirot Crooked House • poirot Crooked House audiobook • #CrookedHouseAgathaChristie #AgathaChristieCrookedHouse #CrookedHouseAgathaChristie #PoirotCrookedHouse #CrookedHousePoiro #AgathaChristieAudiobookHughFraser
