In this murder mystery classic, wealthy patriarch Richard Abernethie dies suddenly in his home and, when his sister is murdered immediately following the reading of his will, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate. "A subject of perennial appeal – unhappy families: lots of scattered siblings, lots of Victorian money (made from corn plasters). Be sure you are investigating the right murder, and watch for mirrors (always interesting in Christie). Contains Christie's last major butler: the 'fifties and 'sixties were not good times for butlers" (Robert Barnard).
