Lord Edgware is murdered in the library

The Lord Edgeware is dying murder in the library: author: Agatha Christie language: Arabic publication date: 2016 book format: paperback publisher: Jarir Bookstore number of pages: 344 book classification: story and novel description: The general memory is very short; the incident of the murder of George Alfred Saint Vincent Marsh, nicknamed Baron Edgeware the Fourth, has become a thing of the past and has been forgotten, despite the intense interest surrounding it and the great excitement it caused, replaced by new exciting events. The name of my friend Hercule Poirot was not explicitly mentioned in connection with this case, and I claim that this was in accordance with his wishes; he preferred not to appear in this case, and another person was praised, which was what he wanted. Moreover, that case — from his own strange perspective — was one of the failures he experienced. He often swore that the person who put him on the right track for this case was just a passing remark. Even if we accept that, there is no doubt that his genius is what uncovered the truth of this case. I doubt they could have revealed the identity of the culprit without Hercule Poirot. Therefore, I feel that it is time for me to record everything I know about this case; I am aware of all its phenomena and inner workings, and I would like to mention that doing so is also a fulfillment of a wonderful lady’s wish. I often remembered that day when we were sitting in Poirot’s sitting room, that small, elegant, organized room; where our little friend — moving back and forth on a certain part of the carpet laid on the floor of the room — was recounting the details of this case in his remarkable skillful style. I will begin to tell what I have from where everything started, from one of the London theaters in July of last year. There was a big fuss about Carlotta Adams in London at that time; she had performed a number of successful evening plays the previous year, and that year she had a three-week theatrical season, and this night was the penultimate night of those performances. Carlotta Adams was an American girl with extraordinary talent in solo acting performances without caring about makeup or set arrangements. It seemed she had the ability to speak all languages fluently. Her theatrical performance — which depicted a scene from one of the nights at a foreign hotel — was very impressive; the scene was crowded with groups of American and German tourists, middle-class English families, a group of suspicious women, a group of Russians from the aristocratic class but appearing impoverished, and a group of servants showing signs of depression and boredom.
