After the Funeral : Level 5, B2+

Collins brings the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, to English language learners.

Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language. Now Collins has adapted her famous detective novels for English language learners. These carefully adapted versions are shorter with the language targeted at upper-intermediate learners (CEF level B2).

Each reader includes:

A reading of the adapted story with audio
Helpful notes on characters
Cultural and historical notes relevant to the plot
A glossary of the more difficult words

After Richard Abernethie's funeral, his will is read out to his family. His sister, Cora, shocks everyone by saying 'He was murdered, wasn't he?'

When Cora is murdered in her bed the very next day, her
extraordinary remark suddenly seems very important.

Every member of the Abernethie family has something to gain
from both murders. Hercule Poirot arrives to solve the mystery.
