Sheila Webb, who works for Miss Martindale's typist-for-hire agency, arrives at her afternoon appointment on Wilbraham Crescent in Crowdean, Sussex. She finds a well-dressed corpse surrounded by six clocks, four of which are stopped at 4:13, while the cuckoo clock announces it is 3 o'clock. When a blind woman enters the house about to step on the corpse, Sheila runs screaming out of the house and into the arms of a young man passing down the street. Time is ticking away for a murderer in Christie’s classic, The Clocks, as Poirot investigates the strange case of a corpse surrounded by numerous timepieces in a blind woman’s house. |
