 ​ __The Witness For The Prosecution__ By Agatha Christie I chose the book because I had read the first few pages in the library, and it seemed interesting. A guy named Leonard Vole has been charged with willful murder. He has hired Mr. Mayherne for the case, but he doesn't think that this is a case worth fighting. The first problem faced by the main character, Leonard Vole, is that he is charged with murder. The Lawer, Mr. Mayherne, asks him about a person that he met a person on a night that I guess may have a motive with a murder. Mr. Vole was in business relations with her. Her name is Miss Emily French. She was murdered and Mr. Vole was the highest beneficiary of her will, and he says that he didn't know about the will. A girl named Janet Mackenzie said that she heard voices talking to Miss French at 9:20, pm. He says that he left there at 9:05, pm, so he can't be the murderer. Mr. Vole also says that he was at home with his wife at the time Ms. Mackenzie had said. The person who Mr. Vole said is his wife doesn't like him, and is willing to get him in jail by telling lies to the jury because she very dislikes him. My first thought thorough the first chapter is that Mrs. Vole killed Miss French because she may have known about the will, so she made it seem like Mr. Vole did it to get him in jail knowing that she hates him. The setting is that it is near the small town of Paddington Greene, in the present. The author gets you to keep reading because she gives you a good mystery to think about that you want to know more about.
