About this ebook

In Hercule Poirot’s Christmas, the holidays are anything but merry when a family reunion is marred by murder—and the notoriously fastidious investigator is quickly on the case.

Christmas Eve, and the Lee family’s reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture and a high-pitched wailing scream. Upstairs, the tyrannical 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. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Agatha Christie always finds a way to have Hercule Poirot outsmart the murderer ( or murderers ) and her readers as well. If you're not fooled in this story, congrats to you. Rarely not a five star read.

I was been reading and rereading Agatha Christi's books since 1961 and still enjoy them very much.

I would have never guess that end!! I thought i knew.. Then knew again... Surprise s everywhere!!
