Summary of book [ The crooked house by Agatha Christe] The crooked house The book's story is about the murder of an old man, called Aristides Leonides, who lived with all his family in the same house, described as the crooked house - the name of the book. In the beginning, his death seemed caused by heart attacked, however, the police found evidence which proves the contrary. One of the investigators was the father of Charles, who loved Sophia, Aristides' granddaughter. Charles met Sophia many years before the murder. They fell in love with each other, but Charles went to the war. When he came back, he asked Sophia to marry him, but she answered that she just could marry when she knows who killed her grandfather. Then, he started to help in the investigation. The problem was that everybody in the family was suspect since Aristides has been murder because someone had put his eyedropper in the place of his insulin and his wife had injected in him this supposed insulin. In addition, in the house, everyone knew if the medicines were changed he could die. The Leonides' family was his two sons, Phillip and Roger, his daughters in law, Magda and Clemency his granddaughters, Sophia and Josephine and his grandson Eustace and his second wife Brenda, who was very young and that no one in the family liked. Likewise, in the same house had lived Edith, who was the sister of first death wife of Aristides and Laurence, who was the teacher of Josephine and Eustace. As Charles were intimate with Sophia, he has spent some time in the crooked house and he got to talk to everyone without seeming an investigation. So people told many things for him and throughout the book, he has suspected of many people in the house. During the investigation, more two crimes happened in the house: Josephine, the child who told to everyone that she knew who was the murderer, almost died because of a trap. And Nanny, the woman who took care of the house, died poisoned when she drunk the chocolate that Josephine didn´t want to drink. The end of the book is very surprising because the murderer is someone who I didn´t expect, however, in some moments I believed that could be who was.
