"The ABC Murders" by Agatha Christie, published in 1936, is a classic detective novel featuring Hercule Poirot. A serial killer, signing as "A.B.C.," taunts Poirot with letters announcing murders tied to an alphabetical pattern, beginning with Andover, then Bexhill, and Churston. Each victim’s name or location corresponds to the alphabet, baffling the police and Poirot’s friend, Captain Hastings. As the killings escalate, Poirot uncovers a complex web of clues, revealing the killer’s motive tied to a seemingly unrelated individual. With his signature brilliance, Poirot solves the case, exposing an ingenious plot in Christie’s gripping, twist-filled narrative.
