A review by pinks_paperbacks
The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah

3.0

Like a lot of Agatha Christie fans especially Hercule Poirot fans I was sceptical with this book. But I was excited too, because by the time this book came I had read all the books and short stories that I could find of Poirot. So I began reading and that ease you find when reading Agatha Christie’s books, was clearly absent. There was no mention of his previous partners and/or his assisting staff except Hastings which was made in a passing comment. His process of investigating the crime seemed a tad forced.

However I would commend the authoress for attempting to write a Agatha Christie’s Poirot book and would say that it was a pleasant book on its own but when presented as a Agatha Christie’s Poirot book it just left me feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
