Hercule Poirot & The Accursed Tiara of Windsor | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

A cursed tiara. A dead heir. Hercule Poirot does not believe in curses — but he believes very much in the cruelty of men who use them … Windsor Hall, autumn 1936. Charles Ashworth has inherited the Windsor Tiara, a legendary heirloom said to bring ruin to every owner. Anonymous letters warn him to give it up. His family believes the curse is real. Then the tiara vanishes from a locked strongbox, and within days Ashworth himself lies dead in the rose garden, struck by a falling sundial. The village whispers: the curse has claimed another. But Hercule Poirot, called in by Ashworth before his death, does not believe in curses. He believes in spare keys, in loosened plinths, and in the quiet, patient cruelty of people who have learned to hide their crimes behind old legends. A theft, a murder, and a household where everyone has something to hide — and one of them has been hiding it for thirty years.

Charles Ashworth inherits the Windsor Tiara — and with it, a family curse that has supposedly followed the jewel for a century. Anonymous letters warn him to be rid of it. Hercule Poirot is summoned to Windsor Hall and finds a household where old resentments run deep: a cousin who believes the tiara should have been hers, a young relative drowning in debt, a scholarly family friend writing a history of the curse, and a housekeeper who believes every word of it. When the tiara vanishes and Ashworth is found dead beneath a fallen sundial, everyone calls it the curse. Poirot follows a false trail first — the convenient suspect of a young man in debt — before a borrowed phrase and a loosened stone lead him to the truth: a quiet love affair thirty years old, and a murder committed with terrible patience.
