Poirot - Appointment with Death
Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to early 20th Century London and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot . "Appointment with Death" is a curious adaptation of the Agathe Christie novel of the same name involving the murder of a sadistic matriarch with an iron grip over her family. The adaption for Poirot makes a number of curious changes to the story including keeping the matriarch's husband alive (his death, and the will left behind is the catalyst of all that comes afterwards) and changes the woman from being the family's stepmother into one of two adoptive parents for all the various grown children.
