This is book number 25 in the Hercule Poirot Mysteries series.
In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, Poirot finds himself entangled in a nasty web of family secrets when he comes across a fresh murder at an English country manor.
A far-from-warm welcome greets Hercule Poirot as he arrives for lunch at Lucy Angkatell’s country house. A man lies dying by the swimming pool, his blood dripping into the water. His wife stands over him, holding a revolver.
As Poirot investigates, he begins to realize that beneath the respectable surface lies a tangle of family secrets and everyone becomes a suspect.
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. She died in 1976, after a prolific career spanning six decades.
“A strange, poignant book; these are deep waters, with powerful undercurrents.” — Michel Houellebecq, award-winning international author
“A grade-A plot—the best Christie in years.” — San Francisco Chronicle
