Summary

Summary

Agatha Christie’s classic, The Hollow, finds Poirot entangled in a nasty web of family secrets when he comes across a fresh murder at an English country manor.

A far-from-warm welcome greets Hercule Poirot as he arrives for lunch at Lucy Angkatell’s country house. A man lies dying by the swimming pool, his blood dripping into the water. His wife stands over him, holding a revolver.

As Poirot investigates, he begins to realize that beneath the respectable surface lies a tangle of family secrets and everyone becomes a suspect.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Christie not only constructs a compelling plot, she explores the psychology of her characters, peeling away layers until she gets to their core. Hugh Fraser, who plays Captain Hastings in the BBC’s Poirot productions, has a resonant voice; his nimble use of British accents is perfect for evoking the upper-crust environment. He gives voice to the inner lives of all of the characters while moving the story forward seamlessly. Originally published as Murder after Hours, this book is pure pleasure.” —AudioFile
“A strange, poignant book; these are deep waters [she writes about], with powerful undercurrents.” —Michel Houellebecq, filmmaker and New York Times bestselling author
“Good double-bluff surprise.” —Observer (London)
“A grade-A plot…The best Christie in years.” —San Francisco Chronicle
