Product Description:
Alice Ascher, a shopkeeper in Andover, is bludgeoned to death at her place of work. Next to die is Miss Bernard in Bexhill, then Mr. Clarke in Churston. More disturbing than the alphabetic sequence of the killings or the ABC Railway guide that the killer leaves at the scene of each crime are the taunting notes Hercule Poirot receives each time the killer is about to strike again. It is one of Poirot’s most challenging cases yet.

It's trickier than most of her mysteries but not necessarily better. Poirot begins receiving anonymous letters informing him that murder will be committed. The first is successfully carried out. The victim has some crazy name like Abigail Anathema of Absconde, Ayreshire. That the letters are not from a crank now sends Poirot and Hastings scuttling around, especially after the next one, which foretells another murder in Brixton or someplace. It shapes up that the murders are being carried out ... Read More

In this novel, Poirot is rejoined by his old, marvelously obtuse friend Hastings (whom we haven't seen since Lord Edgeware Dies, four novels ago, since when he has been at his ranch in Argentina). A serial murder goes on the rampage, sending challenging letters to Poirot in the process, and Poirot and Hastings are on the trail!
Hastings hasn't gotten any smarter, but that's not particularly unrealistic; I'm not sure that hanging out with a great detective would make me any more of a great ... Read More

Agatha Christie, the most popular mystery writer of all time, recognized that crime is a very romantic topic. Romantic in the sense that it creates drama and demands resolution. The A.B.C. Murders does not disappoint the mystery reader's love of having a puzzle to solve.
The story is narrated by Captain Arthur Hastings, Poirot's friend of some years who has returned home to England temporarily from his ranch in South America. Poirot shares with Hastings a disturbing anonymous letter he received ... Read More

This is the first Agatha Christie story I have read, although I am familiar with the Hercule Poirot series on television. This was also my first foray into this genre; most "mysteries" I have read are actually gory crime thrillers. It was refreshing to have a main character, the dapper Poirot, instead of some gritty detective with emotional problems. Poirot is brilliant, polished, and funny. He's even well-adjusted. I also appreciated the fact that the story was told from the perspective of Poirot's friend, ... Read More

When I started this book I thought it was going to be a long summer. However as I got through the book it became extremely interesting. Although it was hard, and the vocabulary was difficult it was a great book.
It start's out with a well renowned detective called Hercule Poirot. He and his friend, Hastings, enjoy solving mysteries together. One day a letter comes in the mail forewarning the murder of a person in Andover. It was mysteriously signed by A.B.C. Sure enough some one dies in Andover. ... Read More
