Ah Poirot, how I enjoy you with your funny egg shaped head, your sleek moustaches and your willingness to embrace the rampant racism present in the average Englishman all in the pursuit of a tricksy murderer. This lovely hardcover facsimile edition has been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting to be read and it's really a very enjoyable Poirot whodunnit.We have a stately home reaching the end of it's life along with the owner, a death swiftly followed by a second and a small cast of eccentricFor in the long run, either through a lie, or through truth, people were bound to give themselves awayA Poirot mystery set in the post World War II Era. A sad reminder that Poirot is now old & retired & that the writer has now slowly started moving away from the Poirot character An era where Christie had started focusing more on Marple than Poirot. Story: A wealthy man dies & his relatives gather after his funeral for the reading of his will, during which his sister states that he
Only read this book if you want to read all of the Poirot books. Otherwise skip it. Seriously.Some of the most despicable characters and an ending that had to be the dumbest one yet for a Christie novel.Once again we have very little Poirot to start with. This book starts at the reading of the will of the late Richard Abernethie. The whole family is left money, though his sister Cora mentions that he had to have been murdered. This disturbs other members of the family and the family solicitor,

But I got no pleasure out of my powers of deduction, as Im almost positive Ive read this at least once before. Possibly twice. So thats a sad statement of my
Although I enjoy escaping for a few hours into the world of murder mystery in some British countryside manor, still this one is rather disappointing. But perhaps it is the case of 'it is not the book it is me' because I wasn't really in the mood when I read this one. 2 stars only.
EXCERPT:"I may," said Poirot in a completely unconvinced tone, "be wrong."Morton smiled. "But that doesn't often happen to you?""No. Though I will admit - yes, I am forced to admit - that it has happened to me.""I must say I'm glad to hear it! To be always right must be sometimes monotonous.""I do not find it so," Poirot assured him.ABOUT THE BOOK: Hercule Poirot is called on to investigate the murder of a brother and sister in this classic from the Queen of Mystery.When Cora Lansquenet is
