Murder at the Manor House | Classic Poirot Tale

It was the last week of November, 1934. A fallen tree. An early storm. A Belgian detective who was never meant to be there. When Hercule Poirot arrives at the fog-drenched Blackmoor Manor on the Yorkshire moors, he finds a household full of secrets — a lord who controls everyone around him through blackmail, a physician living under a stolen identity, a spy disguised as a painter, and a young secretary who knows far more than she should. By midnight, Lord Edmund Ashworth is dead — his own dagger buried in his chest. The telephone lines are down. The police cannot come. And the killer is still in the house. As the storm rages outside, Poirot turns his legendary grey cells on every person under that roof — peeling back ten years of lies, hidden identities, and a dead man's trap designed to punish even from beyond the grave. A story about power, blackmail, identity, and the one truth that no secret can outrun forever. Written in the spirit of Agatha Christie
