The murderer went ploughing on to A B C AND D but was found out by Poirot once again!
What if the murderer went on through the rest of the alphabet, would he have done this or was he always going to stop at D? I wonder when he would run out of names and just how far he would have gone had he not been stopped.
What do you think?? Did you like the way the book was structured in this style or not, would you have made it longer or changed anything??
Would Love to hear your opinions:)

I think he would have stopped at some point, honestly. He probably would have run out of names/towns that match, and his attention to detail was so precise that I don't think he would have accepted deviating from the pattern. Honestly, this wasn't my favorite Christie novel, as it was short and somewhat predictable, but I still liked reading it, and it was a nice break from exams at university.
I really liked the style of the book honestly! I thought it was quite interesting, and the varying perspectives really brought me into the story (I like that kind of writing).
What is your opinion? :)

i think he would've kept going through the alphabet. but he would've gotten caught at some point, of course. maybe not at D but somewhere further (if the case had been run by regular police instead of poirot). G, H ? maybe :)
The concept of indescriminate murder was not considered in that era. Agatha Christie would have shattered social custom by suggesting that some people murder just for the thrill of it - wouldn't be popular and not even Poirot could solve pointless murders. In my view, her most outstanding book was the Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
