A well worth second reading, with great graphics, and Marek has put in, what I think is a sneaky drawing of the boy detective, Tin Tin, but you'll have to find him yourself! I've never liked the title “Dumb Witness”, but checking on the Goodreads list, the other title “Poirot Loses a Client” is well, not the same; I'll just have to live with it.
Solid story with a cast of characters small enough that it was easy to keep track, plus there were some delightful bits with Hastings and Bob the dog.
A fall down the stairs
innocent dog gets the blame
she's a tough old bird.
Delighted by the inclusion of the dog's voice! I'd have loved more of this endearing quirkiness in an otherwise dependably competent mystery with a range of sharply, slyly observed characters I was rather relieved to leave behind on finishing.
