John Moffatt as Poirot: The Tide That Brought Murder to the Village

Agatha Christie’s Taken at the Flood (1948) — also published as There Is a Tide — is a postwar Hercule Poirot novel about money, grief and a family that cannot accept the will. When Gordon Cloade is killed in a wartime bombing, his young widow Rosaleen inherits the fortune the Cloade relatives had counted on. Then a man calling himself Enoch Arden arrives, claiming to be Rosaleen’s first husband — which would make the marriage void and the money vanish. What begins as a dispute over an inheritance becomes murder. Poirot, with Superintendent Spence, must decide who is lying: the widow, the charming brother David Hunter, or the desperate Cloades themselves.
