A Classic Mystery

Set at the beach-side hotel—the Jolly Roger—on the English coast in August, this novel takes the relaxing idea of a beach holiday and marries it with murder. Christie’s detective, the famed Hercule Poirot, is vacationing with some conspicuous characters when he must remind them that “there is evil everywhere under the sun.” When murder strikes at the heart of this holiday, will you be able to deduce who’s guilty?
