After the Funeral: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Agatha Christie Collection)

When Richard Abernethie the master of Enderby Hall dies his heirs assemble at the vast Victorian mansion to hear the reading of the will. It is then that Cora Abernethies sister comes out with an alarming proposal: "But he was murdered wasnt he?" The next day Cora is found brutally bludgeoned to death in her home. None other than Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot is summoned to Enderby in pursuit of the murderer. Suspects abound including a wayward nephew unlucky with women and horses a favorite and seemingly blameless sister-in-law two feuding nieces a nosey housekeeper and a disingenuous art collector. Poirot must conjure all of his deductive powers in order to unmask the killer and his final conclusion is a brilliant and unexpected as ever. After the Funeral is classic Christie at her best.
