Death Behind the Painted Smile | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Описание: A Hercule Poirot Mystery...

"In a house where everything ran flawlessly and nothing was ever truly right, the most dangerous person at the table was the one nobody thought to watch."

When Margaret Whitcombe tells Hercule Poirot that something is wrong in her house, he arrives at Briar Hollow expecting the usual — jealousy, inheritance, old grudges. Instead, he finds a family that runs like clockwork around a patriarch no one dares contradict, a wife who has been invisible for forty years, and a honey jar with its cork already removed. When Gerald Whitcombe dies at breakfast on a Wednesday morning, the police focus on the obvious suspect. Poirot focuses on the small things — a watering schedule broken by one day, a face-down photograph, and a woman who has never once sat down in her own kitchen.
A mystery about the quiet violence of being unseen, and what happens when someone who has kept everything running finally decides to stop.
