The Last Death of the Year

The brilliant Belgian detective rings in the New Year with a chilling murder investigation on a Greek island in this all-new holiday mystery from Sophie Hannah, author of Hercule Poirot's Silent Night.

New Year's Eve, 1932. Hercule Poirot and Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the tiny Greek island of Lamperos to celebrate the holiday with what turns out to be a rather odd community of locals living in a dilapidated house. A dark sense of foreboding overshadows the beautiful island getaway when the guests play a New Year's Resolutions game after dinner and one written resolution gleefully threatens to perform "the last and first death of the year."

Hours later, one of the home's residents is found dead on the terrace.

In light of the shocking murder, Poirot reveals to Catchpool the real reason he's brought him to the island--the life of another community member has been threatened. Now both men resolve to ensure that the first murder will be the last.
