Review: The A.B.C. Murders by Agatha Christie
Rating: ★★★★☆
As a devoted Agatha Christie fan (one of my cats is even named after her!), The A.B.C. Murders holds a special place in my heart. This re-read brought back a flood of memories, as it was the first "adult" book I picked out for myself as an 11-year-old in the new school library.
Christie's ingenious plot and masterful storytelling are on full display in this classic Hercule Poirot mystery. The methodical and suspenseful unravelling of the A.B.C. murders kept me just as engaged now as it did all those years ago. Poirot's clever deductions and the unique structure of the crimes make for a thrilling and satisfying read.
The nostalgic connection I have with this book only adds to its charm. Revisiting it reminded me why I fell in love with Christie's work in the first place. The characters are well-drawn, and the interplay between Poirot and Hastings is as delightful as ever.
While I might be a bit sentimental, The A.B.C. Murders genuinely deserves its accolades. It's a testament to Christie's enduring genius and her ability to craft a mystery that remains compelling through the years. If you're a fan of classic whodunits, this one is a must-read.
