Summary: well written, but not fantastic
Review: Agatha Christie's A.B.C Murders that has a very interesting plot. In it, a series of murders occurs that have several things in common. First, every murder has a note preceding it that is sent to Hercule Poirot, the heroic detective of the book and the main character in many of Christie's novels. Each note contains the location and date of the next murder. Each note is sent by a man calling himself A.B.C. Second, the murders are all committed in alphabetical order. For instance, Mrs. Ascher was killed in Andover and Betty Bernard was killed in Bexhill. Third, each of the bodies had an A.B.C railway guide lying near or on it. These guides were open to the page containing the town where the murder had been committed. Using clues and connections that the reader will probably not realize exist until the conclusion, Poirot finds the true culprit. A.B.C Murders has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the most important advantages is that it has a story line with many plot twists and a net of intrigue. Just when you think you know who did it, evidence proves otherwise, which is one reason why I liked it. This kind of twist keeps on happening until the story is resolved. Another good thing about this book is the vocabulary, which is advanced; a dictionary can come in handy while reading this book. Poirot's witty comments in French are both funny and insightful. I only had a few problems with this book. First, Christie presents the material in such a way that it is sometimes confusing to read. Second, Poirot sees the smallest detail, which is a bit unlikely because in this respect he seems a bit superhuman. Third, the murderer always leaves a clue that no one sees except Poirot, which is again very unlikely. All in all, I would give this book three stars and say that if you are looking for a good mystery book to read on the proverbial "dark and stormy night" you might want to pick this up. However, if you are looking for detective fiction with a more realistic plot, I would search for greener pastures.

Summary: Comedy and Suspense
Review: All of Agatha Christie's mysteries are well-crafted and suspenseful. This one, however, also manages to be very funny. Don't get me wrong, -- it's no comedy -- however Poirot's perpetual sidekick Hastings is at his best here. There are many funny moments with Poirot, Hastings, Inspector Japp, and another cocky inspector whom Poirot is forced to work with. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say that the story is quite unpredictable. When Christie strays from blood-curdling terror, she is a very witty comic writer.

Summary: Great!
Review: This is the second Agatha Christie book I have read and I really enjoyed it. It keeps you hooked till the end. You won't be able to guess the murderer! I also recommend "Death in the Clouds," which in my mind, is better. Agatha Christie is the best mystery author of all time.

Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: I've read a few Agatha Christie books, and they're all fantastic. This one, though, was good also, but it was sort of slow. It got more interesting in the middle. My brother has already read this book and before I read it, he told me who the murderer was, so the element of surprise for me wasn't so high. But it was still a very good book.

Summary: Good book slow start.
Review: This was the first book of hers I read. I think it had a slow start but it slowly draws you into the plot, but once you get into the real mystery part of the book you will enjoy it if you like mysteries. I liked this book so much that I'll probably read some more of her books.

Summary: Good book. Worth to read.
Review: This book is good in sense that everything has been plot well. Note for the reader that the one who appears to be the murder is not but the murder is the other one we are familiar with.

Summary: This book is full of plot twists and unsuspected turns!
Review: I read this book last July. It was really a change from what I'm used to, but it intrigued me to read more books like it. It was my first Agatha Christie book I had ever read, and now she's one of my favorite authors!

Summary: Defininetly one of her best
Review: One of Agatha Christie's greatest books in my opinion. As in all of her books, there is a mind boggling plot and ending. It is the endings of her books that set her far above most other writers. This book was particularly satisfying because even as you near the end, there are still ironic twists and turns in the plot and detective's investigation. The detail in which she unravels the solution is even more gripping. I could not put this book down until the final page.
