After the funeral of Richard Abernethie, his large family gathers in Abernethie’s Victorian mansion to hear the will read. In the crowded room, Abernethie’s sister Cora remarks that her brother was murdered and everything’s been hushed up. But if her brother was murdered, perhaps she should’ve guessed the murderer would be listening in that day. When Cora’s found dead the next morning, the family solicitor calls in Poirot to discover the truth within this complicated family web.
