Agatha Christie is, of course, the best and this mystery does not disappoint. Poirot is back, with mon ami Hastings and the good Inspector Japp. An intriguing set of murders perpetrated by a killer only known as “A. B. C.”. The story is interesting and the solution ingenious.
Agatha Stats:
Detective- Poirot
POV- 1st person, narrated by Hastings . Plus some 3rd person narrative.
Published- 1936
First Victim- Alice Ascher of Andover. More murders ensue.

Rating: 4 stars

Serial killer mysteries are always a favourite of mine. I enjoy a murder mystery where there is only one death, sure, but when dealing with serial killer, it's like the action is renewed every few chapters! That was how it felt with The A.B.C. Murders - just as I started getting bored, someone else died! (Wow that makes me sound like a complete psycho). I really liked the little "quirk" if you will of all the "ABC" ties to the killer, kind of like the signature ways infamous real serial killers have had. As always, Agatha Christie does an amazing job with Poirot, my favourite detective along with Sherlock Holmes of course (but miles away from Miss Marple who is a fake detective at best) and it made for a solid mystery novel worth all 4 stars, perhaps more.
