A Holiday For Murder by Agatha Christie, Paperback

Better than "very good." Name written on inside front page and a yellowing patch from a removed book plate. No other marking. No creases. No tears.

Christmas Eve, and the Lee family’s reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture and a high-pitched wailing scream. Upstairs, the tyrannical Simeon Lee lies dead in a pool of blood, his throat slashed.

When Hercule Poirot offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason to hate the old man. . . .
