Description
A man is found dead in a living room, with a mysterious discrepancy between the time shown on the clocks. Stenographer Sheila Webb lets herself into the house at 19 Wilbraham Crescent, where she discovers the body of a dead man sprawled across the floor. The unusual aspect of the case is the time factor, as Sheila remembers hearing a cuckoo clock strike three o'clock, yet the other clocks in the room all show the time as 4.13. The investigation reveals that only one of the clocks belongs to the owner of the house, adding to the mystery. As Poirot delves into the case, he must unravel the complex web of time and deception. The seemingly ordinary scene of a dead body in a living room belies a complex puzzle that requires careful observation and deduction. This gripping mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to piece together the events leading up to the discovery of the body.
