Hercule Poirot and Inspector Edward Catchpool are called to investigate the murder of a man in the apparent safe haven of a Norfolk hospital ward. Catchpool\u2019s mother, the irrepressible Cynthia, insists that Poirot stays in a crumbling mansion by the coast, so that they can all be together for the festive period while Poirot solves the case. Cynthia\u2019s friend Arnold is soon to be admitted to that same hospital and his wife is convinced he will be the killer\u2019s next victim, though she refuses to explain why.<\/p>\n<p>Poirot has less than a week to solve the crime and prevent more murders if he is to escape from this nightmare scenario and get home in time for Christmas. Meanwhile, someone else \u2013 someone utterly ruthless \u2013 also has ideas about what ought to happen to Hercule Poirot . . .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/sophiehannah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Hercule-Poirots-Silent-Night-Extract.pdf&#8221;
