When Richard Abernethie, last master of Enderby Hall, dies suddenly in his sleep, the family are eager to discover how his riches have been divided. However, the reading of the will is rudely interrupted by his youngest sister, Cora: 'He was murdered, wasn't he?' she blurts out.

Used to her inopportune remarks, the family ignore her. But the next day, when Cora herself is found brutally killed, they start to wonder.

"Every time I read an Agatha Christie mystery, I remember how much I enjoy her books! This was definitely a book I had a very hard time putting down. One of the things I like about her books is that while they are murder mysteries, she does not dwell on the murder itself. No blood and gore. It's all about solving the case. Hercule Poirot is one of my favorite detectives, and arguably the greatest fictional detective of all time. All of the characters are so well-developed in this book. You get a tantalizing taste of each character's psyche... just enough to wonder, did he/she do it? Is he/she the murderer? The ending was completely surprising. I love that. The whole time I was guessing and guessing and I was way off the mark the whole time. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery!"

    " Classic Agatha Christie, with small towns and manor houses and red herrings galore. I know the first time I read it I was completely surprised by the denouement, though this time I remembered whodunit so it was less compelling. Still fine for something light to listen to in the car! "

    " I read 100% of the Agatha Christie books before I was in 7th grade. This one of my favorite of the later ( post WWII ) Poirot titles. "

    " It's Christie, so it's very good, but at this point in her career she was almost parodying herself. This is the quintessential Christie set-up: rich patriarch dies and leaves his estate to his brood of generally undeserving children. Was he murdered? If so, who did it? There are plenty of red herrings, of course, but I actually figured this one out, so it isn't too tough. "

    " Lovely mystery, of course! However, I was not satisfied with the killer, her motive, or one of the important clues. Poirot was delicious as always. "

    " good but difficult to remember who is who as they are so many characters. Sometimes if you have seen the TV episode you can remember who did it. If I didn't know would have been hard to guess! "

    " I enjoyed both the book and later the audiobook, read by Hugh Fraser. I must admit that the first time I read this, I was not impressed. The second time, though, I listened to it and I was able to pick up on some things that I did not the first time. "

    " I always love a good Agatha Christie book. Poirot actually wasn't as prominent a character in this book compared to the other Christie books I've read, which made me a little sad. Regardless, a solid mystery that kept me engrossed throughout. "

    " Very good, though if you've read a lot of Christie, you'll notice a few of her favorite 'tricks'.I only gave it 3 stars as it seemed a trifle padded. You don't get the final and most important clue until very near the end, and then from there it's just a wrap-up. "
