Christmas at the family house turns on a patriarch who has summoned his relatives mainly for the pleasure of unsettling them, and who is found dead before the holiday is over.
Agatha Christie builds the case on a locked room, a household full of old grievances, and arrivals whose claims on the family are not what they appear. Poirot works through the family history as much as the movements of the night, and the seasonal setting sharpens rather than softens the malice. It remains one of the most frequently recommended Christie titles for winter reading.
Before you add it to the cart:
• A country-house mystery set across the Christmas period
• A locked-room problem at the heart of the investigation
• Inheritance and long-held resentment supplying the motive
• Harper Collins edition, a popular seasonal gift among crime readers
Suited to readers of golden-age detective fiction, published by Harper Collins and available at Boipoka.
