The will was burning a hole in his pocket so ...he hides it in the dollhouse??? Sure, don't hide it In a trash can or a fire place, or under a mattress!
These episodes are full of this kind on stuff.
I watch this show to fall asleep to, I've seen them all about 5 times. If you watch them more than 1.5 times you will see how preposterous they are. What's great is david suchet, all the actors, the homes, the cloths, the locations!...etc. They're Eye candy. And very Very predictable so they're comforting.
(By the way, The person in a wheel chair is never actually an invalid).
A few other silly things: They haven't seen Cora in 20 years, and its Actually not even Cora, but it's her head tilt that busts her? Not that it's actually an entirely different person pret being to be Cora??
The ex husband took the Rembrandt to have it appraised, so it would have had to have been uncovered, but for the big reveal, they put back and cover it with Cora's painting somehow. And its A Rembrandt but Poirot takes a pocket knife to it? Yikes.
There's a lot of silly stuff but they always have the big monologue at the end to explain it all to the audience. The post cards, the table and flowers, George's moms affair, the cousins affair are all red herrings that need to be unraveled for us!!
And then The guilty party will also always leap at the chance to explain why and how They did it! Often with no evidence and so Many silly twists and turns that if they just shut it up it could never be proven in court.
Of course we'll be surprised by who the murderer is! Especially since it's usually preposterous. In this case, the maid sees a Rembrandt worth $5k (only $5k?!) and she Becomes a psychotic killer who bludgeons her employer.
Oh, also she poisons herself to throw them off the scent, and um....good thing Cora's niece isn't a sound sleeper! As she's dying when the niece saves her. Good thing the EMTs were damn good too!
Agatha really relies on us not watching them more than once, or thinking. The writing is formulaic and actually Never ever water tight.
But the shows are great to look at and the Actors always knock this silly writing out of the park and the Formula makes me sleepy.
