I liked it I wish I had figured out for sure who the murderer really was. I had my suspicions but wasn't defininate about them. Different murder mystery for Poriot to solve but of course he did.

A is for Mrs. Ascher - fatally attacked in Andover. B is for Betty Barnard - strangled on the beach in Bexhill. C is for Sir Carmichael Clarke - now a corpse in Churston... If nothing else, the murderer knew his ABC's. But the alphabetical assassin would need to know more than that to outwit the world's cleverest detective - Hercule Poirot!

I thought I'd figured it out but, by golly, I hadn't. This was my first Agatha Christie book. There will be more.

Alice Ascher from Andover is the first victim. Next to her corpse is a spellbinding clue. It seems that a killer is knocking off his victims one-by-one, A through Z. Alphabetically speaking, Hercule Poirot fears that it's a matter of one down, twenty-five to go.

This is Christie at her best; many critics have put the ABC Murders in the top 10 of her books. Entertaining characters with the typical twists and turns of an Agatha Christie novel.

As always, Christie is a joy and Poirot is a riot!

The ABC Murders proves to be the Belgian sleuth's most challenging case with Poirot trying to decipher each cryptic message and getting one step ahead of this clever and ruthless killer. I have always enjoy Agatha Christie's novels and this one is not excluded. I found it to be highly interesting with a lot of sleight of hand and subterfuge involve. I would recommend it for anyone interested in reading a story from the Queen of Crime..Agatha Christie.
