Hercule Poirot's Christmas: Great for Holiday and Christmas Reading or Gifting (Hercule Poirot Mysteries, 19)

In this official edition featuring exclusive content from the Queen of Mystery, the holidays are anything but merry when a family reunion is marred by murder—and the brilliant Belgian investigator is quickly on the case.

“Poirot has solved some puzzling mysteries in his time
but never has his mighty brain functioned more brilliantly than in Hercule
Poirot’s Christmas
.” —New York Times

On Christmas Eve at Gorston Hall, the Lee family’s festivities
are shattered by a deafening crash of furniture and a high-pitched wailing
scream. Upstairs—in a locked bedroom—the tyrannical patriarch Simeon Lee lies
dead in a pool of blood, his throat slashed.
When Hercule Poirot offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere
not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason
to hate the old man, but which one of them turned a special occasion into an
occasion for homicide? The suspects will indeed be stirring this Christmas
Eve...

This was a fun romp with Poirot. Lovely mystery (what else do you get with Agatha Christie?) and light Christmas season reading. If you like Agatha Christie's work in general and her Poirot series in particular you'll love this one!

As always-indubitable! And masterfully read by Hugh Fraser. Poirot is asked to consult in a case of murder at a manor house during the Christmas holiday. A cantankerous old man has summoned his adult children to his side and then ends up dead. Through some well placed questions and those famous little grey cells, Poirot solves the crime.

Well I guess it isn't always the butler...... Sometimes it's the policeman!
