Hercule Poirot's Christmas

Hercule Poirot's Christmas was first published by Collins Crime Club in December 1938. It was first issued by Fontana in 1957, and this copy is the twenty-first impression, published March 1990.

Christmas is a time of goodwill and of family reunion - except for the Lee family. This year will be different. Millionaire twice over, tyrannical and ruthless - has Simeon Lee become sentimental about his children in his old age? Or does he have a more sinister motive in bringing them all together?

With unseasonal trepidation, the family assembles. In a brilliantly created atmospere of jealousy and suspicion, a brutal murder is commiteed. Hercule Poirot will need all his mastery to solve this audacious crime.
