Publisher Description
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 . . .

JAMAICA Rule
Kingston Jamaica.
One of Christie’s best!
Fantastic read, excellent plotting and character development. Very, very good.
Never on My Radar….
After the Funeral is probably better known Christie scholars, but I had never heard of it until I began reading it.
This is one of the Dame’s final books and in it’s post-war setting, it absolutely feels way more modern than her previous books.
The story itself held me spellbound with red herrings and twists at every turn. After the Funeral was an incredibly entertaining book that should be on the short list for the next adaptation.
