About this eBook

Agatha Christie’s world-famous serial killer mystery, reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

There’s a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victim’s corpe the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place.

Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught – until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans...

My first Agatha Christie novel and it is so well written, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoy mystery novels and murders but this is brilliant and on another level, particularly if you take into consideration when it was written. Just when you think you have the killer sussed out, nope, not them. Oh look, another red herring, but let's believe it anyway. Of course, Monsieur Poirot solves the mystery in the end and in a way that only he can. I am definitely going to be reading more

Good concept... a totally new idea with a beautiful and creative minds of Mr Poirot and Cap. Hastings... loved the suspence... boring in the middle but pretty end. Extended in the middle. Fab characters. On short, a good book. A 1 time read.

The title of the book itself draws a lot of attention to read it and it lives up to the expectations. Awesome book. Can't put it down and ties up in the end as usual. One of the best of Miss Christie's novels.

About the author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
