The Death of Lady McGinty - Agatha Christie

Mrs. McGinty was killed by a brutal blow to the head. Suspicions were directed immediately to the young tenant residing in her house: Mr. James Bentley, on whose clothes traces of the murdered woman's blood and hair were discovered.

However, something seems unnatural about it: the Bentley hardly looks like a killer.

Poirot is convinced that he can save the man from the gallows, but the strange thing is that the accused himself does not seem eager to escape!
