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

Format: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.

Format: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.

Format: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.

John Moffatt is the perfect radio Poirot bringing life to the character in each scene. This production dating from 2000 has a strong cast and I would highlight Simon Williams and... Read more

One of the best
This was one of the first Christie books I read - a long time ago now - and I thought it was pretty bad. When I reread it I entirely revised my youthful opinion. Read more

My first Agatha Christie book, and I can't wait for my next one to arrive in the post. Just like the films the twist in the story unknown until the very end.

Story is perfect but listen to the audio is not Christie's English.It is US English. I prefer to listen English writers books in UK English.Amazon must find different riders.

A good and different approach to Poirot
