Agatha Christie's world-famous serial killer mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. There's a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victim's corpe the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place. Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught - until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans...
Phoebes's Review
A book that departs a little from the usual ones of the Queen of Mistery, in various aspects, and for this reason it intrigued me a lot. Nevertheless this book, in the end, still contains the basic elements that I love so much and that I appreciate, if I have to be honest, for their familiarity, too. For example Poirot's deductive work, Hastings' mistakes, the arrogance of the policeman on duty, various clues cleverly disseminated. A really good reading to end pleasantly the year!
