You wouldn't drink my brother in law's tea, it's like he's trained a squadron of gnats to fly over a cup.

[@Hablizel]

[@colinmiller7671]

[@judikingsman6132]

[@philkelly8097]

[@Weirdkauz]

I wonder why she married her first husband...

[@63susanc]

Many of us wonder the same thing about ourselves.

[@fiona-lyons]

Money?

[@breakablehandlewithcare]

Then it was poison , today it's knives 😔

[@clivesmith9377]

Wasn't this a bit simplistic? The police would know she did it, after finding the poison in his stomach.

One of her early books Accident was only a short story, written by Agatha Christie which was first published in the Sunday Dispatch in 1929 in the UK. In 1934, the story was compiled and published as part of the collection The Listerdale Mystery. In the US, the story was not published until 1943 in the Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and subsequently as part of the 1948 collection The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories. Police might have been not upto speed back then?

[@clivesmith9377]

@@alanfordyce I see. But Christie had studied poisons and the ways people used them for murders. If she knew, the police knew too. I think.

[@feralbluee]

I thought so! Don’t like this story

So dumb of Mr. Evans to drink her tea
