Review

"There is no more cunning player of the murder game than Agatha Christie" Sunday Times "A masterwork of carefully concealed artifice! most stunningly original" Julian Symons --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

Bien sûr, la retraite a ses charmes... Cependant, Hercule Poirot ne peut s'empêcher, de temps à autre, de reprendre du service. Oh! pas pour n'importe quelle affaire, bien entendu. Un détective aussi célèbre que lui ne se dérangerait pas pour un meurtre ordinaire. Non, Hercule Poirot ne s'intéresse qu'aux crimes les plus déroutants, les plus passionnants, les plus... Bref, à la crème des crimes. Et quelque chose lui dit que cette curieuse lettre signée A.B.C. va l'entraîner dans un mystère suffisamment épineux pour qu'il daigne faire fonctionner ses petites cellules grises. Oui, de toute évidence, A.B.C. fait partie de la crème des assassins... De quoi réjouir la crème des détectives ! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Du Agatha Christie comme on aime! April 26 2013

Ce fameux Hercule nous surprendra toujours! Très bon roman policier à la manière Christie, un revirement inattendu et du suspense en tout temps.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, Not Great, Agatha Christie May 17 2004
By Ricky Hunter
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The A.B.C. Murders strength is also its weakness. It has a very unusual twist. That is typical of the Agatha Christie of the superb Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Murder on the Orient Express. The only problem in this mystery is that, for once, the twist seems a lot more forced, with a group of suspects that are not particularly unique or interesting. It still is alway good to read about Hercule Poirot and Hastings has returned for this adventure. And, of course, for those desiring a higher than usual Christie body count, this mystery provides a healthy dose of dead bodies. It makes for a pleasant summer read but is not up to the usual Christie standards and does not bear up to repeated visits unlike many of the Christie classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Poirot Mystery May 6 2004
By APRICOT
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It is the Poirot Mystery I like best. There are few whodunits I want to read again, but this book is the exception. I read this book second time and I love it again. It is not only an excellent mystery, but also an excellent suspense story. The battle against the fiend who commits murders alphabetically is thrilling, fast-paced and highly enjoyable.

Reading whodunits, I rarely feel sympathy for victims nor hatred to murderers. This book is the rare case. The murderer is really a cold-blooded fiend. Even affable Poirot expresses a cold rage to the murderer.
