Appropriately titled for a lawyer, Motive V. Opportunity is Mr. Petherick's story regarding a rich man named Mr. Clode.  Upon Mr. Clode's death, his will reveals that his estate will be given to his three relatives . . . until Mrs. Spragg, a medium, comes into the picture.  In his death bed, Mr. Clode rewrites his will to include her, but when the time comes to read the will - it's missing!

I'm getting the hang of Agatha's style.  I figured this one out early on.  Even though I've rated most of these short stories in the "just okay" category, I'm still enjoying them.
