Cousins by marriage and lovers by inclination, Roddy and Elinor were the ideal match. He loathed any display of emotion, while she was composed at all times. Then they got an anonymous letter warning that their rich Aunt Laura was thinking of cutting them off, and their perfect world vanished. Roddy did the unthinkable, and fell in love. And Elinor found herself charged with murder. When Hercule Poirot is hired to uncover the truth, even the inimitable Belgian detective is stumped. For a time.

One thing I love about Agatha is how she varies the formula all the time.
Sad Cypress has a few different layers than the other Poirot books: courtroom drama, a love triangle, bias. It therefore reads a little differently. I have been reading all of Christie's mysteries chronologically and if nothing else I liked this one because it added variety. The ending I somewhat expected—it wasn't as clever as some of her other books. But still I enjoyed the read. They are all good.
