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. ![]()
