Sad Cypress

Elinor and Roddy were planning a wedding, hopeful for a joyful life together. Elinor was also the sole heir of her wealthy, ailing aunt Laura. But everything changes when Elinor receives an anonymous letter, warning her that Laura’s ward, Mary Gerrard, may be after the inheritance.

Soon after, Aunt Laura is found dead — and not long after that, Mary dies as well. All the evidence points to Elinor. Even worse, she confesses to the crime.

But Hercule Poirot suspects that not everything is as it seems. As he investigates, he uncovers a web of deceit and a far more complicated truth...

A tightly-woven courtroom mystery full of psychological tension, Sad Cypress is one of Christie’s most unique Poirot novels.
