Gospođa McGinty je mrtva

Agatha Christie

Mrs McGinty's Dead (1952) is a novel in which Hercule Poirot investigates the murder of a seemingly insignificant old woman. The story takes place in the English village of Broadhinny, where Mrs. McGinty, a cleaning lady, is found dead, murdered with a

Mrs. McGinty's lodger, James Bentley, is suspected and convicted of murder due to the money found and a weak motive. However, Inspector Spence suspects Bentley's guilt and seeks Poirot's help. Poirot arrives in the village and begins an investigation, questioning the residents and digging into Mrs. McGinty's past.

He discovers that while working as a cleaner, she came across a newspaper article about an old crime that linked one of the villagers to a tragic past. The article points to a case from long ago, involving disappearances and possible cover-ups. Poirot investigates the lives of the families in the village, including the Wetherby family, Deirdre Henderson, and aspiring actress Maureen Summerhayes.

Through conversation and deduction, Poirot uncovers a web of lies, hidden identities, and motives tied to greed and fear of exposure. Tensions rise as new attacks occur, and Poirot becomes the target. The novel culminates in the dramatic revelation of the killer, whose motives are driven by a desperate desire to keep a secret.

Christie masterfully builds the plot, using Poirot's insight and subtle clues. The novel explores themes of justice, social facade, and the consequences of past sins, with a characteristic twist at the end.
