Hercule Poirot's
Christmas |
Agatha Christie is in top form in this violent murder mystery about a Christmas reunion that takes a turn for the deadly when Simeon Lee, a multi-millionaire family patriarch, is found murdered the day before Christmas. Enter Belgian private investigator Hercule Poirot, who offers to help with the case alongside Mr. Sugden, the Superintendent of Police, and Chief Constable Col. Johnson, and unsurprisingly not only finds an ambiance filled with strain and tension, but also realises that everybody in the family had their own reasons for murdering senior Lee. Christie has written may an ingenious mystery, but in
Hercule Poirot's Christmas she surpasses herself with a supremely clever whodunit that offers sufficient manna to the brain.
