What Members Thought

I really enjoyed this Poirot story. The sister after the funeral makes the startling statement that of course he was murdered. Then she is murdered. What follows is a classic of misdirection and red herrings.
It stumped me even with the clues. Perhaps it was because all of the family were so unlikeable that the murderer is such a surprise.
