Taken at the Flood

О книге

A few weeks after marrying an attractive young widow, Gordon Cloade is killed in a bombing raid during the London Blitz. Overnight, young Rosaleen has inherited a vast forturje. The rest of the hard-up Cloade family is less than happy, however. When the dead man's sister-in-law tells Hercule Poirot that she has been warned by 'spirits' that Rosaleen's first husband is still alive, the detective finds himself caught between a fortune and some bitter relations who would prefer to see the widow Cloade join her late husband on 'the other side'...
