- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Miss Violet March approaches Poirot for help. As stated in her late uncle's will she has one year to solve a puzzle or lose her inheritance.
Another enjoyable short mystery - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The late Andrew Marsh, who never agreed with his niece's academic aspirations, has left all of his wealth to his niece in his will—but only if she can locate the deliberately hidden document within a year's time. So she employs the help of Detective Hercule Poirot in The Case of the Missing Will by author Agatha Christie.High-five to young Miss Violet Marsh for knowing her gifts and having the courage to use them, even when her uncle (as well as the narrator of the story and Poirot's sidekick, Captain Arthur Hastings) doesn't believe her scholastic pursuits to be becoming of a woman.My interest in this short story slackened somewhat during the middle. But as I headed toward the end, I should've known it was getting too easy, that there would be a twist coming. And it came, despite my having gotten lax in my anticipation. What's more, even with Poirot's being rather puffed-up about himself, I couldn't argue with his conclusion about Miss Marsh in the end.It turned out to be well worth the fifteen minutes or so it took me to read this short and fun little mystery.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Poirot and Hastings are called in to help a girl locate a missing will, one of her late Uncle. Violet Marsh and her Uncle didn’t really see eye to eye. He thought she should be the domestic type and she wanted to get an education. When he passed away, Violet learns that there is a missing will and her Uncle is testing her (from beyond the grave) to see exactly how smart she is. Instead of trying to find it herself she enlists Poirot’s help to locate the will.Oh what fun! There is a dead body, but Poirot isn’t here to solve that issue, he’s here to find a will. I like that this mystery is all about “cleverness” and in her ultimate act of cleverness Violet hires someone else to find the will. That’s not something I think her Uncle was expecting.This was a fun story. The more of these short stories I read the more I’m enjoying watching Poirot’s method of detection to see how he solves the mystery. It’s very interesting watching the master at work, and hopefully one day I will solve one before Poirot!
