When Cora is savagely murdered with a hatchet, the extraordinary remark she made the previous day at her brother Richard's funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance. At the reading of Richard's will, Cora was clearly heard to say: 'It's been hushed up very nicely, hasn't itBut he was murdered, wasn't he?' In desperation, the family solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery.

##结局如此出人意料,看起来最不像凶手的人可能就是。
评分##看过商务版的原文书,后面人物已经有点混乱了,结局猜不到
评分##出其不意
评分##大逆转
评分##我居然猜到了。所以这本真是没什么惊喜的。之前看的几本到最后都挺惊讶的。这本也太普通了。
评分##red herrings up to 90%, twist for the sake of twist. MQ: she will never try to be too clever, but she knows what she wants. So few people do.
评分##不是克里斯蒂的巅峰之作,逻辑上相较于《东方快车》等稍差一些,前面铺叙略多,后期的节奏明显更加紧凑。
评分##居然是我的第一本阿婆原文,随机抽的,伴随着Hugh Fraser阅读的有声书拖着看了一天,比较好猜的一本。
评分波洛系列,人物描写不错,各有性格。古龙的百晓生出自这里。
