Sins of the Father | A Hercule Poirot Mystery

London, 1935. Lord Edmund Ashworth dies in his library on the morning after his 70th birthday. The family physician calls it heart failure. The housekeeper accepts it. Even Scotland Yard is ready to close the case. But one thing stops them: a torn scrap of paper clutched in the dead man's fist. Two words: "You know why." When Hercule Poirot arrives at Ashworth Manor, he finds a house full of secrets, a daughter who hasn't slept, an uninvited guest with a hidden name, and a doctor who says too little. What Poirot doesn't know yet is that this isn't a whodunnit. It's a why-dunnit. And the answer is thirty years old, buried in a prison death certificate, and carried in the quiet hands of a woman who has been waiting for eight years to set the record straight.
