Hercule Poirot is called on to investigate the murder of a brother and sister, in this classic Agatha Christie mystery now available in an updated edition with a foreword Sophie Hannah.

"He was murdered, wasn't he?"

When Cora Lansquenet is savagely murdered, the extraordinary remark she had 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 it. But he was murdered, wasn't he?"

Did Cora's accusation a dark truth that sealed her own fate? Or are the siblings' deaths just tragic coincidences?

Desperate to know the truth, the Lansquenet's solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery. For even after the funeral, death isn't finished yet . . .

Agatha Christie books are seem to be hit or miss for me, this one is a hit - Agatha puts together a story of murder and possible murder, with all the expected red herrings and dead ends one expects from a mystery. The solution was completely unexpected, but on hind sight, was very obvious, as it should be.

There is one problem with the story, but I don't know enough to say if its a legit problem or not.

As for the characters, they are all have reasons for murder - and are very much suspect. Agatha does characters well, and can capture that upper middle class haughtiness, even when they have to ride a third class carriage due to money issues. ( )

DNF unrated - the radio dramatization version. I don't know why I even borrowed it from the library, because I never like radio dramatizations, no matter how good the production or the source material. But so many friends have spoken glowingly of this book and Hugh Fraser's performance, that I spent the Audible credit on that version and will start listening to it today.

I may,” said Poirot in a completely unconvinced tone, “be wrong.” Morton smiled.
“But that doesn’t often happen to you?”
“No. Though I will admit—yes, I am forced to admit—that it has happened to me.”
“I must say I’m glad to hear it! To be always right must be sometimes monotonous.”
“I do not find it so,” Poirot assured him.

Christie, Agatha. After the Funeral: Hercule Poirot Investigates (Hercule Poirot series Book 29) (pp. 275-276). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.


Mr Entwhistle calls on his old friend Hercule Poirot when a recent death of a client appears suspicious and a second person connected to the family dies. Poirot, feeling a bit bored with his retirement, agrees to look into the case.

This was alright, a little bland. There wasn't much Poirot, mainly just various scenes with the Abernethie family. The mystery was interesting enough and I liked the bit about the murderer practising her facial expressions in the mirror but the pacing was a bit off and the characters were kind of boring.

Not my favourite Agatha Christie. 3 stars. ( )

When Richard Abernathie's will is read out, his sister Cora asks if he was really murdered. When Cora is found a couple of days later with her head bashed in the family's solicitor Mr Entwhistle cannot believe it was just coincidence. His investigations don't get very far and eventually he is forced to call in his friend Hercule Poirot.

I couldn't work out who it was, even though Poirot actually tells us well in advance of the big reveal. ( )

Agatha Christie presents another delicious mystery and with members of the family stretching out hands for money. Richard Abernethie dies and his will names six relatives who will each receive a share in the estate. After the funeral, his youngest sibling, Cora, asks the question: “was he murdered?” The attorney, Mr. Entwhistle, proceeds to give details about each relative. How delightful for this picture of the family. Someone brutally murders Cora. Mr. Entwhistle employs Hercule Poirot to investigate the deaths. Margaret Rutherford portrays Miss Marple in the film adaptation of Murder at the Gallop. Rutherford shines in her performance as Miss Marple, what a treat! Back to the actual book by Agatha Christie with all the red herrings with the members of the family exposed in all their foibles. ( )
