The world's greatest detective Hercule Poirot - legendary star of Agatha Christie's Murder on
the Orient Express and Death on the Nile - puts his little grey cells to work solving a
baffling Christmas mystery. CAN HERCULE POIROT SOLVE A BAFFLING MURDER MYSTERY IN TIME FOR
CHRISTMAS? It's 19 December 1931. Hercule Poirot and Inspector Edward Catchpool are called to
investigate the murder of a man in the apparent safe haven of a Norfolk hospital ward.
Catchpool's mother the irrepressible Cynthia insists that Poirot stays in a crumbling mansion
by the coast so that they can all be together for the festive period while Poirot solves the
case. Cynthia's friend Arnold is soon to be admitted to that same hospital and his wife is
convinced he will be the killer's next victim though she refuses to explain why. Poirot has
less than a week to solve the crime and prevent more murders if he is to escape from this
nightmare scenario and get home in time for Christmas. Meanwhile someone else - someone
utterly ruthless - also has ideas about what ought to happen to Hercule Poirot . . .
