Description
In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, Hercule Poirot investigates the strange case of a corpse surrounded by numerous timepieces in a blind woman’s house.Sheila Webb expected to find a respectable blind lady waiting for her at 19 Wilbraham Crescent—not the body of a middle-aged man sprawled across the living room floor. But when old Miss Pebmarsh denies sending for her in the first place, or of owning all the clocks that surround the body, it’s clear that they are going to need a very good detective.“This crime is so complicated that it must be quite simple,” declares Poirot. But there’s a murderer on the loose, and time is ticking away.… Read more

Not Among The Best--But it is Christie
This is nothing like vintage Christie. Poirot plays a walk-on role. Dame Agatha seems a bit the worse for wear; the years have taken their toll. Never mind. If you one of the very many who feels better for having read yet another of the long list of works she created throughout a long and productive life, you will enjoy this one. A dead body is found by a young woman called to the house in which the crime takes place by an assignment as a temporary secretary from the Agency for which she works. Later, another young woman from the same agency is murdered in the vicinity. A police inspector is in charge of the investigation, with his friend, a counter-spy, tagging along since he met the first young woman who came screaming out of the house. For the counter-espionage agent it is love at first sight. As the investigation runs headlong into a stone wall, the young agent visits with his friend, Hercule Poirot, who is idle and fretting over it. While we watch, the investigators gather evidence, the romance gathers steam, and Poirot digests the information given him. We stand in the wings as neighbors are interrogated by the police or softly questioned by the young agent. They are a diverse lot, as are the others who are dropped into the search for the killer. As indicated, despite the relative lack of complexity in plotting, and off-stage presence of Poirot, I enjoyed every part of the book.The Inspector is no fool nor brute, The young man personable, ah, the young woman is a mystery, what will we learn about her. Poirot is off in his London apartment, upset by the renovation of the building in which he has an apartment, happy to activate his little grey cells on the mystery brought him by his friend, the young agent. I enjoyed the book more than most of the (often quite good) current mysteries I read. Dame Agatha is a friend of long standing and I am entertained by whatever she cared to share with us, her readers.

Classic
If you have never read this mystery before, do so. Just don't expect to guess who did it. It was written in the 1960's but still has a good Agatha Christie plot.

Prefer the real Hercule Poirot
I’m used the usual ending. The least developed characters are the culprits with a twist. But why the police detective and MI6 operative. Poirot has always been very able with or without Capt Hastings.

she got me again!
Intricately plotted, The Clocks was one of the few Christie novels I thought I had mostly solved early on. Beware the red herrings of Agatha Christie! They’ll get you every time! And, as Miss Marple would say, always assume people are lying until it’s proven otherwise. Fun read.

Mixed Emotions
Good characters but to much narrative and not enough of Hercule Poirot. Ending was a complete surprise though. Not one of my favorites.

Great price, delivered overnight.
Format: Paperback
Only four stars because I haven’t read it yet. But I have read this story about 40 years ago😆😆 I ordered it because I remembered how much I enjoyed reading Agatha Christie’s “Clock’s” unfortunately for me, my brother borrowed it and never returned it. Love Agatha Christie! Great price point as well.

Poirot's mind working like clockwork
Good plot, good characters, typical Poirot whereby he is particularly lazy, as he refuses to leave his appartment till the very end: this is set where Poirot is already retired (though we all know that even retired he can't stop working on cases...) and he stubbornly refuses to move claiming - as usual - that one can always solve everything by reflecting and using the little grey cells. Of course, as is invariably the case, Poirot will solve the full mystery at the end, with no shortage of arrogance and usual self contentment. Otherwise in this book you will find what is apparently an old acquaintance of Poirot, here called Colin Lamb (though he is a spy and this is not his real name): I read majority of Poirot books but I cannot remember another novel with this character though... Be warned that in this book the inspector in charge (Hardcastle, who is actually quite smart in comparison with some other Christie's inspectors - but yet again he cannot even come close to finding the solution..) and Colin Lamb are mostly the ones making inquiries and investigating. You will see very little of Poirot till the end, where he shows everyone how it should be done (obviously this case is for him a simple walk in the park)... Note: at some point during the book Poirot is making interesting reviews of past crime writers: as often Sherlock is taking his fair amount of criticisms - quite funny and for avid Christie's reader, she usually makes snappy comments about - supposedly - shortcomings of Conan Doyle's Sherlock novels (of course these comments are not to be taken too serioulsy - but since I also read the complete Sherlock Holmes novel and I have to say though that Christie - or Poirot through whom Christie is generally speaking her mind - sometimes has a point).
