Christie at her best 21 Feb 2001
By A Customer
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.

Imaginative 12 Mar 2007
By L. Hay VINE™ VOICE
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.

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.
