The Flawless Crime | THE AMBYS 2021 Runner Up ✔️

A wealthy lawyer, Mr Hans Ridgey, has been poisoned.

There are three main suspects, one of whom might be the culprit for his death.

Mrs Otilia Ridgey (his wife), Miss Eleonor Cunningham (the devoted housemaid) and Mr Paul Hastings (the stockbroker and a long time family friend).

Will Hercule Poirot manage to get to the bottom of this mystery?
Or has someone finally committed... The flawless crime?

Let us destroy the common trope of the Great Detective, who relies on powers of deduction and educated thought to solve heinous crimes, all while giving a new meaning and origin to the cliché.
