In one of Christie's most twisted tales, Poirot must navigate the mind of a serial killer as the scoundrel systematically kills his way through the alphabet.
Agatha Christie's famous serial-killer mystery starring Hercule Poirot. Now with a beautiful new series look.
"Let us see, Mr. Clever Poirot, just how clever you can be."
There's a serial killer on the loose, working his way through the alphabet and the whole country is in a state of panic.
A is for Mrs. Ascher in Andover, B is for Betty Barnard in Bexhill, C is for Sir Carmichael Clarke in Churston. With each murder, the killer is getting more confident--but leaving a trail of deliberate clues to taunt the proud Hercule Poirot might just prove to be the first, and fatal, mistake.
