This is the fourth Tommy and Tuppence novel (a pair of protagonists who feature in five Agatha Christie novels).

This particular Tommy and Tuppence novel puts the spotlight on Tuppence, which is great to see since she’s the more interesting of the two protagonists. Before Ada died, Mrs Lancaster gifted her a painting of a house that feels oddly familiar to Tuppence. And so, Poirot reaches out to those five little pigs to interview them and discover who really killed Carla’s father, and why exactly her mother confessed to the murder. Despite its popularity, it is not her very best novel, but it’s also not overrated. Murder on the Orient Express really is just that good, and most of this is down to the incredible twist.

Newton-metres and joules are dimensionally equivalent in the sense that they have the same expression in SI base units, We learn early on that the butler never called — in fact, the call didn’t even come from the house — so where did it come from, and why? Murder mystery novels like Christie’s often make for great cosy winter reads, curled up by a fire in a dimly-lit room. This one, however, has a delightfully summer vibe. And Then There Were Noneis the best Agatha Christie book. This is not a contentious statement. Countless fans consider it her magnum opus, and for good reason.

When we hear the phrase “murder mystery” one scene that many of us will immediately picture is a dinner party hosted at a fancy house, like in the movie Clue.There are many moving parts to this novel, and Poirot is of course the most entertaining game piece on the board. When we meet Charles, he’s working in Cairo. There, he meets Sophia: a fellow Brit who comes from a big suburban family in London: the Leonides Family.

Christie novels live and die on their twists being built up to and executed perfectly, with just the right kind of weighty payoff, and this is one of the best in that regard.While it is certainly one of the more famous Poirot murder mystery novels, The ABC Murdersis neither the best nor the worst. It is, however, quite unique. For people who know her name or have watched a few film adaptations, this novel may not be familiar. But for diehard fans, Endless Nightis one of the best Agatha Christie books.
