by Agatha Christie
As Christmas approaches, the Lee family converges on Gorston Hall for a reunion that is anything but festive. The tyrannical patriarch Simeon Lee has summoned his estranged children, including a long-absent son and a mysterious Spanish granddaughter, but his motives seem more malicious than merry. When a scream and a crash shatter the holiday peace, Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate a crime that is as bloody as it is baffling. In a house full of long-held grudges and hidden identities, the detective must determine who among the gathered kin had a motive for murder.
