This is another Agatha Christie story
I have read, although I am familiar with the Hercule Poirot series on
television. This was also my first foray into this genre — most of the “mysteries”
I have read are actually gory crime thrillers.

It was refreshing to have a
main character, the dapper Poirot, instead of some gritty detective with
emotional problems. Poirot is brilliant, polished, and funny. He’s even
well-adjusted.
The story starts out with the arrival of a
teasing letter at Poirot’s home. It warns of something happening in Andover on
a specific day. When Alice Ascher is found dead, it’s obvious that the murderer
is engaged in a lethal game with Poirot.
The cast of characters keeps
expanding as more murders occur, including family members and distraught
boyfriends. Although everyone is a suspect, there are mysterious chapters
interspersed throughout the book that feature a strange man named Alexander
Bonaparte Cust…A.B.C. Who is this man? What is his connection to the murders?
