![]() Although everyone is a suspect, there are mysterious chapters interspersed throughout the book that feature a strange man named Alexander Bonaparte Cust…A.B.C. The cast of characters keeps expanding as more murders occur, including family members and distraught boyfriends. When Alice Ascher is found dead, it’s obvious that the murderer is engaged in a lethal game with Poirot. It warns of something happening in Andover on a specific day. ![]() The story starts out with the arrival of a teasing letter at Poirot’s home. I also appreciated the fact that the story was told from the perspective of Poirot’s friend, Captain Hastings, meaning that I was left out of Poirot’s thought-processes, so every twist and turn was a surprise. Poirot is brilliant, polished, and funny. It was refreshing to have a main character, the dapper Poirot, instead of some gritty detective with emotional problems. ![]() This was also my first foray into this genre most “mysteries” I have read are actually gory crime thrillers. This is another Agatha Christie story I have read, although I am familiar with the Hercule Poirot series on television. ![]()
