"Towards Zero has a superb plot and concept as explained in the title, that the actual murder is zero hour, and the countdown has led the killer and the victim to this point."
"One of the most atmospheric books with a simple but effective plot set in a background of an English village which is more Fred West's Much Marcle than Miss Marple's St Mary Mead"
"The finest tale of the Young Adventurers, the cheeky and engaging Tommy and Tuppence, with its spine chilling and enigmatic (albeit mostly invisible) villain Mr Brown."
"The Sleeping Murder is Miss Marple at her best, without too much fluffy rambling but at her practical great-aunt best. A fast paced plot with a dollop of thrills."
"This is Christie at her bleakest, deviating from her comfortable cluedo characters, and creating a tale worthy of Hitchcockian psychology and suspense."
"Every Christie fan will have their favourite Poirot mystery but this is a departure from the usual bonhomie between Poirot and Hastings. Dark and unusual in plot it is Poirot's greatest detection yet."
