'After the Funeral' is a book by Agatha Christie, about an upper class English family - the Abernethies - who become suspects in a murder. Hercule Poirot is the detective who is brought in to investigate the murder of Cora Lansquenet, a widow who is killed savagely with a hatchet.

During the reading of the will, Cora had cast some doubt over the nature of her brother's death by saying "It was hushed up very nicely ... but he was murdered, wasn't he?". The story that ensues follows Poirot and the family solicitor, Mr Entwhistle, as they ...
