أول مرة أقرأ رواية لأجاثا كريستي (حتى أنا مستغرب من هالشيء).. كشخص يحب الروايات البوليسية وكبر وهو يقرأ روايات الرجل المستحيل وقصص شيرلوك هولمز حصّلت الشيء الي أبغاه منها بكل بساطة.. متعة وتشويق.. جيدة

Hercule Poirot is a well known british detective who is challenged by a psychopath. The psychopath is always giving them clues to figure out where the next crime will take place by sending letters. The murders are always different because the age and gender was different. The only thing to go by is the A.B.C book. I found it to be interesting on how the killer always taunts Poirot. It was fun to read the book and knowing the ending but I won't say it here. So if you really like mystery books and want to know the if they catch the murder, I would say this is a great book to read for you.
