Review
"There is no more cunning player of the murder game than Agatha Christie." Sunday Times "A masterwork of carefully concealed artifice! most stunningly original." Julian Symons "An Agatha Christie triumph." Morning Post "The best thing she has ever written, compact, witty and horribly exciting." Sunday Referee "An entirely original idea." Daily Telegraph "Mrs Christie has invented an entirely new plot for a detective story -- a difficult thing in these days; she is to be congratulated on the perfection of her invention." The Times "Her best yet. Where does she get hold of these brilliant notions?" Bristol Evening Post "Vive Hercule Poirot! He is back again ! and I, for one, am thrilled to the marrow bones ! the most amazing finale for sheer ingenuity that I have ever come across ! Mrs Christie has pulled it off yet again." The Bystander
Product Description
Agatha Christie's world-famous serial killer mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. There's a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victim's corpe the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place. Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught -- until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans!

Christie at her best,
By A Customer
This review is from: The ABC Murders (Agatha Christie Collection) (Hardcover)
Fans of Christie have marvelled at the 'quaint english country village with a dark secret' stories that we have known and loved for years. What a delightful departure in the ABC Murders. A brutal serial killer goades Hercule Poirot with clues as to the next victim, but he always arrives too late to save them. Why has the killer chosen to write to Hercule Poirot? What have the victims got in common? When will the killer strike again? A very clever and thoroughly enjoyable read.

This review is from: The ABC Murders (Hercule Poirot) (Paperback)
This is Dame Agatha at her best. A series of apparently motiveless murders connected only by the victim's initials, and copies of the "ABC of London" being left at the scene of the crimes. The readers attention is kept to the end. Certainly not a time waster for Christie fans. An enduring classic.

The best Poirot I have read.,
By
This review is from: The ABC Murders (Hercule Poirot) (Paperback)
A fiendish puzzle, revolving around a series of totally random alphabetical murders and a sinister calling card of an ABC railway guide. Poirot has to be at this best to solve this superb mystery. The plot is exciting and the twists will keep you going right up to the end.
