Mystery Is Easy – How to Crack Agatha Christie?

I just finished reading ‘Murder Is Easy‘ by Agatha Christie, the queen of mystery. Here the lead of novel meets an old woman on a London bound train and gets to know about mysterious deaths taking place in a desolate village, not far from London. The old lady mentions to this retired police officer, that she is going to report to the Scotland Yard the murders and the suspect according to her. But, the police officer reads in next day’s newspaper that the old lady has been knocked down by some vehicle in London. Determined to see to this affair, the lead goes to village, falls in love with a lady besides trying to unfold the murder mysteries. Regular stuff.
I actually had zeroed down on 3 persons in novel as possible murderers when I was somewhere in the middle of novel. And bravo! Here are the actual results – First one the pompous Lord is closely related to the murderer; Second, the lady – in whose case I failed – is not the murderer, but in fact becomes muse of the lead; the third one – the old lady once engaged to the Lord is the actual murderer.
