When Cora herself is found dead the very next day, the family's solicitor enlists the legendary Hercule Poirot to uncover the truth lurking beneath a veneer of respectability and grief. With his trademark precision and psychological acuity, Poirot dissects the motives, secrets, and lies of the Abernethie family, revealing that inheritance and ambition can be the most dangerous of human impulses. Christie constructs the novel with her signature blend of wit, misdirection, and elegant plotting, keeping readers perpetually off-balance until the brilliantly staged denouement. Published in 1953, this stands as one of the finest examples of the golden age whodunit, illustrating why Christie remains the undisputed queen of crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887918559451,"sku":"2026200007821-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b557156b-867b-4b8f-b43a-f07a08cf029b.png?v=1781749222","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007821-secondhand-after-the-funeral","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
