What to expect
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…

A delightful Agatha Christie romp, brilliantly narrated with the accents and personalities of the characters skilfully portrayed. Poirot, and Christie of course, at the height of their ingenuity, with flashes of humour which get missed in screen adaptations. I found the last chapter 'Finale' surprisingly moving.
