I read all the Christie mysteries (yes, all 82 of them) many years ago but the title of this one didn't spark any memories when I found the audiobook available for 99 cents. And it was read by Hugh Fraser who played Hastings in the PBS Poirot series with David Suchet so why not revisit it? It's a typical Christie-type mystery: large manor house, wealthy family, death of eldest brother, etc. But at the reading of the will the sister comments "But he was murdered, wasn't he?" When she is brutally murdered the following day. When the family lawyer's investigations come to a dead end, he enlists the help of Hercule Poirot who, of course, solves the mystery. Eventually I came to remember the story but not the solution so it was almost like a new book to me.
