A shadow falls across the stately Victorian mansion, its master felled by a sudden, unexplained death. But Cora, his sister, harbors a chilling certainty: murder. Her suspicions, dismissed as grief-stricken fancies, become a terrifying reality when she herself is brutally slain, a hatchet the instrument of her violent end. The irony is cruel. Just the day before, at Richard's funeral, Cora's words, seemingly innocuous at the time, now resonate with a sinister weight. "It's been hushed up very nicely, hasn't it…But he was murdered, wasn't he?" she had remarked, a comment that now hangs heavy in the air, a phantom accusation. The family solicitor, faced with this double tragedy and the unsettling implications of Cora's words, knows he must seek the truth. He turns, in desperation, to Hercule Poirot. What dark secrets lie hidden within the mansion's opulent rooms? What twisted motive could drive a family to such unspeakable acts? And what precisely did Cora see, or suspect, before her own violent silencing? Poirot must navigate the treacherous currents of family dynamics, decipher the cryptic clues left behind, and unearth the truth buried beneath layers of deception, before the shadows claim another victim.
