Killings at Kingfisher Hill: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery

Named a New York Times Best Book to Give

The world's greatest detective, Hercule Poirot--legendary
star of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and Death on
the Nile--returns to solve a delectably twisty mystery in this "masterful
and multi-layered puzzle...adding a new dimension to a much-loved series"
(NPR).

"Yet again, the diminutive man with the little gray cells
delivers the goods." --Wall Street Journal

Hercule Poirot is traveling by luxury passenger coach from
London to the exclusive Kingfisher Hill estate. Richard Devonport has summoned
the renowned detective to prove that his fiancée, Helen, is innocent of the
murder of his brother, Frank. Poirot will have only days to investigate before
Helen is hanged, but there is one strange condition attached: he must conceal
his true reason for being there from the rest of the Devonport family.

The coach is forced to stop when a distressed woman demands
to get off, insisting that if she stays in her seat, she will be murdered.
Although the rest of the journey passes without anyone being harmed, Poirot's
curiosity is aroused, and his fears are later confirmed when a body is
discovered with a macabre note attached . . .

Could this new murder and the peculiar incident
on the coach be clues to solving the mystery of who killed Frank Devonport? And
if Helen is innocent, can Poirot find the true culprit in time to save her from
the gallows?
