richard abernethie and a very wealthy man and have die and his relative have assemble for his funeral . include in the funeral party be abernathie youngest sister cora galaccio . while none of the family have see cora in at least 20 year and they all agree that cora be always a bit different . so when cora say something about abemethie have be murder and most laugh it off a one of cora eccentricity . but someone be obviously take cora seriously . the next day and cora be find dead in her bed have be beat violently . be there a connection between the two death . it up to hercule poirot to find a killer . after the funeral be one of the most well put together episode of the entire poirot series . i have always be a fan of this particular agatha christie book and and from what i remember and the movie be as faithful to christie source material a any of the poirot installment . the mystery be top notch with plenty of clue and suspect and and red herring . and a i have write before and i always enjoy an christie story where hercule poirot gather everyone together in a drawing room for the final reveal . it might be old fashion and but that the way i like it . get beyond the plot and technically and artistically after the funeral be a winner . set and edit and direction and and cinematography be as good a you will find in one of these movie . the acting be equally impressive . i have come to expect an enjoyable performance from david suchet a poirot and he doesn not disappoint here . the rest of the cast be just a strong with monica dolan give an especially noteworthy performance . other than a minor quibble with the rapid fire way the character be introduce and i have get no real complaint . it a good show all the way around .
