One of my favorite Christie's, mainly because the idea is so clever. One of the times when the solution feels right - it makes sense of nonsensical things.

A cracking Agatha Christie novel with a fairly unexpected ending. Easy read.

Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery, and to keep it simple, this is her best story yet.

My favourite, Captain Hastings, returns to traverse English towns with Poirot to track down the ABC serial murderer. It’s quite unlike the other Poirot mysteries, which is probably why it’s often listed as one of the best. A perfect mystery.
