Summary: Oh! what a way to baffle us!
Review: After reading this book, I felt like she might have written A to Z Murders! Of course I have read and studied all the books of Agatha Christie. I would say - in front of Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and other masterpieces, ABC murders may be found a bit slow, but nevertheless it matches the height of mystery and narrative of the masterpieces.

Summary: AN excellent mystery!
Review: I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie's books, especially the Poirot mysteries. The first one I read, Murder in Mesopotamia, got me hooked, and now I've read almost all of her books. They always keep me guessing, and there are just about two books in which I knew who the murderer was. ABC murders is not one of them, so I really liked it. My personal favorites, though, are Murder on the Links, Five Little Pigs, and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. My least favorite ones are Big Four, Hickory Dickory Death and Curtain (Hercule Poirot fans may know why). I would recommend any Hercule Poirot mysteries any day!

Summary: The best Christie book I have read...so far.
Review: I have read about 7 or 8 Hercule Poirot mysteries and this one was by far the best one I have read. The incredible twists and turns in the plot had me utterly baffled at the end. Definitely a good read.

Summary: it was okay.....not the best
Review: I tried reading the book and it was really slow in the beginning so I didn't want to. Well, I kinda had to so when I finished I realized it's a pretty well thought out novel but I thought it was rather boring.

Summary: I give it 4 stars
Review: I am a big fan of Agatha Christie. I love all of her books (just about). A few people recommended this to me and I read it with interest. Hercule Poirot is a quite a character and I enjoy reading books that included him and his "sidekick" Captain Hastings. To me, Hastings really represents the reader. He is baffled by certain clues and always assumes the odvious while Poirot always looks for the details in things. Although this is not my favorite Agatha Christie, it keep me on the edge of my seat. I especially like the narratives of ABC. If you are looking for an excellent Agatha Chrisite to read, I suggest: Murder on the Orient Express, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (my personal favorite!) and The Big Four.

Summary: This book will pull you in and wont let you go!
Review:  Alex Folkenflik. THE A.B.C. MURDERS.I found the A.B.C. murders to be interesting and enthralling. The ending had a definite surprise ending. It was definitely interesting because of the interesting point of view she creates from the "Watson" wanna be Hastings who continually gives signs that he has a crime hungry personality when he is with his friend, the great detective Poirot. He has come back to England when the detective is near to retiring but he won't get to without one more homicidal maniac, who is on the rampage gets put behind bars. At the news of this psychotic yet flashy killer Hastings is ecstatic but as the case rolls on, he gets somewhat discouraged. The way the author uses the literary devices of a red herring are ingenious while the murderers motive is one of the most well thought of in detective fiction the many suspects and acts of the police and Poirot fool you to put that possibility away. Then there's the way the author keeps you interested in the book. By using a homicidal maniac, you're always reading for the next murder while the questions of who, when, why, and how are constantly surging through your head. Then when the detective starts to accuse the murderer it doesn't stop there you want to hear the details. Was the victim old and defenseless or young and struggling? One more interesting factor is while you wait for the next murder, you get to hear the thinking process of Poirot which sounds much like Sherlock Holmes. The analysis of the criminal's mind and features just from a few clues and victims are amazing. I would give this two bloodied thumbs up.

She forms the characters in great detail, each detail eventually making perfect sense in the conclusion and making you say, "darn, I should've known." Christie makes the books atmosphere such that it feels as if you are right there, trying to figure out the murders right along with Hercule Poirot, the great detective in the book. Christie's book is such a thrilling and exciting book for many reasons. First, her writing style is unique, in that it excites you from the beginning of the book until the very end.

These facts tie together at the end, concluding the mystery with great strength and reassurance to the reader. Lastly, the atmosphere of the book is outstanding. Christie absorbs you into the book so well that you want to talk over the mystery with Poirot, as if you were there solving the case right along with him. This book is great because it makes you want to keep on reading and reading, with no end to the book. With absorbing writing, great characterization, and encouragement to read on, Agatha Christie has written yet another outstanding detective fiction.

Summary: This book was a suspenseful and exciting story.
Review: The book THE ABC MURDERS was an exciting and suspenseful story, about a murderer who killed his victims according to an alphabetical pattern. This story is one of the "best" I've ever read, and combines an excellent narrative with exciting events. I would recommend this book to people who like mystery and murder stories, since it is a combination of both.
