Agatha Christie is such a crafty devil that midway through a novel she might have you believing that YOU are the murderer!Indeed, The ABC Murders uses slight-of-hand most deftly. Again, I was thrown off the scent of the real killer and was ready to blame others. I feel a bit foolish when she dangles...
I recently read a biography of Agatha Christie and it gave me a hankering to read one of hers I had never tried. I've heard The A. B. C. Murders called one of her best, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed myself from beginning to end, and goodness this was a fast read--just a few h...
I have to say that if you want to read a well plotted great mystery/thriller novel look no farther than Agatha Christie. I didn't realize until last year how many novels she has written and have tried my best to get through them all.This novel, "The ABC Murders" stars her Belgian detective extraordi...
The ABC Murders again contain a truly original plot idea from Agatha Christie. The twist at the end is unexpected. Perhaps too unexpected. For the first time in the Poitor series, I wasn't even looking for a particular murderer, since he is so clearly introduced to the reader from the very beginning...
Got bored of this one...is missing her usual cast of quirky characters. Poirot and Hastings on their own are a bit stuffy.Edit: Came back to it and it picks up and has it's cast of uniques.

So I truly appreciate the fact that Agatha Christie is this great mystery writer, a woman writer, in the 1930s!!And this is only my second book that I've read by her. I have read "And Then There Were None." Even with this book, barely 200 pages, and I felt myself sighing throughout it. I was getting...
I didn't mean to listen to the radio dramatization of this book.I didn't even know there IS a radio dramatization of it.By pure chance or in other words,by mistake I downloaded it, supposing that it is the unabridged audio-book , it turned out to be a BBC radio drama. I love it,I listened to it thre...
