O.o I did not see that coming. I'm so freaked right now. 😂Now I understand why she is the literal queen of the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller world. THAT END WAS SO AGONIZING. Content: Violence. Obviously it's a murder mystery. Four people die in different (extreme) measures. There is some language. :p If your sensitive to dark or frightening topics I would NOT suggest that you read this. EVERYONE ELSE. O.O THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. READ IT. THAT'S AN ORDER.At least at one time, my oldest daughter (who's a psychology major) liked to read about serial killers; she thought it was interesting, from a psychological standpoint, to see what makes them tick. That's an interest I've never shared; I normally avoid serial killer fiction and nonfiction like the plague, because that focused a concentration on psychotic evil disturbs and repels me. Given that fact, this novel --which, as far as I know, was Christie's only foray into serial killer territory-- is
One of the most engrossing Poirot stories. It has a great beginning and as the plot progresses you stay glued trying to make a sense of it all. Tantalizingly, clues are scattered loosely to off track you. And then finally with a flourish Poirot reveals the murderer you are left gaping at the cleverness of author in steering such a plot.

I dont read serial killer books. Unless its Agatha Christie.
There is nothing so terrible as to live in an atmosphere of suspicion - to see eyes watching you and the love in them changing to fear - nothing so terrible as to suspect those near and dear to you - It is poisonous - a miasma. Hercule Poirot gets a few surprises his old friend Hastings has come for an extended stay and visit, and a serial killer has decided to target him with teasing notes before he strikes.As always, clever. The point of this one was the journey and not the
Arthur Hastings came to Great Britain. He visited Poirot and was just in time to see an anonymous letter the great detective received. Somebody was boasting that he/she could commit such a perfect crime that even Poirot himself cannot solve it. Even the date and place of crime was given. The person signed the letter as A.B.C. On the designated day Alice Asher of Andover was killed. There was a train schedule published by A.B.C. company by he dead body.The next letter Poirot received was even
In The ABC Murders Poirot is challenged by a serial killer, or it seems to be the case. The murderer is so bold that he even informs Poirot in advance where the murder is to take place. Moreover, the murderer chooses the place and the victim in alphabetical order. Written as a first person and third person narrative by Arthur Hastings, the story marks a different writing approach by Agatha Christie. From the outset, the story presents us with a possible killer. There is no evidence but only
