| In Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Agatha Christie masterfully intertwines holiday cheer with chilling murder, setting the stage for a classic whodunit. On a snowy Christmas Eve, the tyrannical patriarch Simeon Lee invites his estranged family to his opulent manor, Gorston Hall, under the guise of festive goodwill. However, the holiday spirit quickly turns sinister when a blood-curdling scream echoes through the halls, revealing Simeon dead in a locked room, his throat savagely slashed. As Hercule Poirot, visiting nearby, is drawn into the investigation, he uncovers a web of family resentment and hidden motives among the guests—each with their own reason to wish the old man dead. With Christie's signature flair for suspense and intricate plotting, this gripping tale leaves readers guessing until the final shocking reveal. |
