HERCULE POIROT’S CHRISTMAS (1938)by Agatha  ChristieSynopsis: 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. The wealthy Simeon Lee has demanded that all four of his sons — one faithful, one prodigal, one impecunious, one sensitive — and their wives return home for Christmas. But a heartwarming family holiday is not exactly what he has in mind. He bedevils each of his sons with barbed insults and finally announces that he is cutting off their allowances and changing his will. Poirot is called in the aftermath of Simeon Lee’s announcement.My review: Poor Poirot, he can’t even enjoy Christmas. So on Christmas Eve a murder took place on Lee mansion and he decides to help a good friend of his, to solve the case. Simeon Lee brutally murdered in his room, while all of his children and their wives, were downstairs. This case is so complicated but Poirot is determined to catch the killer once again. The family turns suspicious to each other and Poirot thinks that some of them could have done it for the money, but some of them for revenge. So he secretly collects evidence and he will reveal some family secrets that will upset them all and he will find the killer with a shocking twist in the end.I really enjoyed this one and I think it’s the best crime book for the holiday season !!4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- source link
