hwestenhofer 's review for:

The A.B.C. Murders by Agatha Christie
4.0

From the point of view of Hurcule Poirot's impulsive counterpart, Captain Hastings, this mystery is set up to take place all around England. The first letter of the city will be the first letter of the killed person's surname. Not the best Christie novel; however, it is still worthy of a read. There is one major red-herring in this novel that is thrown off by a fake fingerprint--in which I found very amusing. Again, I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone (as that Christie book is "And Then There Were None"); however, if you are a Christie fan, you would enjoy it.
