Publisher Description

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring Peter Sallis as the great Belgian detective. Tyrannical millionaire Simeon Lee has been estranged from most of his family for years. But now, on Christmas Eve, the old man calls them all together once more. Unable to disobey, the children gather uneasily and wonder what their father's intentions are. Does he want to clear up past misunderstandings or cause fresh mischief?

Before they can find out, a deafening crash is heard overhead. Rushing upstairs, they discover a shocking sight: Simeon Lee is lying in a pool of blood, his throat cut. But it is the strangest thing - the door has been locked from the inside and there is no trace of the murderer.

With so many possible suspects, it is lucky for Superintendent Sugden that the Chief Constable has his old friend Hercule Poirot staying with him. It seems to be an impossible case. But, as Poirot knows only too well, things aren't always as they seem.

"i don't like Agatha's novels, when it includes Poirot, it has a good idea, and a wonderful way of writing, but the problem is that i felt all the information and the truth became clear, in one moment, and it felt heavy, but it'san amazing book !"

    " A nice solid Poirot book set at Christmas (not that you can really tell) with a standard whodunnit, great cast of characters and the usual twists and turns. Not the best and less great Poirot moments but still entertaining to read. "

    " The first Poirot of Agatha Christie's books I have read and so far, I think I prefer his character to Miss Marple's. Again, I enjoyed the build up of the mystery and love the way she always manages to surprise you in the end. "

    " There are a couple of logistical problems with the story's conclusion, including the convenient fact that the time of death was omitted during the inquest. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. "

    " This was a decent read, but it's from the school of mysteries where the reader can't possibly solve the case ahead of time because you can't actually see... well, never mind. Don't want to ruin it. A simple, quick, "break book." That is, a book you read between others of more a strenuous nature. "
