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.

POIROT'S MIND'S MIND BLOWING

The book is about a series of murder that happens in alphabetical order and a railway guide is left under or near the bodies. He sends letters to Poirot in advance, in some kind of challenge. Now, who's the killer and WHY? Are the questions that will remain through the book.
I loved the book because you really DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS. And it's used a lot of things that differ of the other books.
The fact that you are in the dark most of the book, and all of the sudden it's all too clear, so something is not right, is amazing and instigating.
If you like policial novels you will like this one. Poirot develops the whole crime in the end, and it's BRILLIANT TO READ IT.
