The Mystery Of Three Quarters: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Another ingenious mystery for Hercule Poirot to solve in Sophie Hannah's third novel featuring Agatha Christie's famous detective.

Returning home after an enjoyable lunch, Poirot is accosted in the street by a woman who claims to have received a letter from him accusing her of murder. Poirot assures her he has written no such letter, but she does not listen. Puzzled and aggrieved, Poirot soon receives a second visitor who makes the same claim. It soon transpires that four such letters have been sent, all accusing the recipients of murder, all claiming to have been sent by Hercule Poirot.

So begins another complex puzzle for Poirot to solve, along with the assistance of his friend Inspector Catchpool of Scotland Yard. The man whom the letters claim was murdered is believed to have died as the result of an accident, but is this true, or has someone got away with murder? Who is the mysterious letter writer and for what purpose were the letters written?

Masterfully plotted, 'The Mystery of Three Quarters' moves at a lightning-speed, unspooling twists and turns, leading to a conclusion in Poirot's own inimitable style - the gathering of the players and the final revelation of the guilty party.

Hannah has again perfectly captured the character of Poirot and the style and pitch of the series, so beautifully crafted by Christie herself across the numerous novels, short stories and play in which Poirot appears.

The Poirot stories, both in print and the television series starring David Suchet, were my introduction to adult crime fiction almost two decades ago. I was delighted when, four years ago, I was able to experience a brand new Poirot novel in 'The Monogram Murders', followed by 'Closed Casket' two years later. This equally brilliant third novel is a fantastic addition to Hannah's series and to the Poirot canon as a whole. I very much hope there will be a fourth.

The Monogram Murders by Sophie Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


An absolute joy, full of intriguing mystery, with Poirot as brilliant as ever!




Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Another delightful new case for Hercule Poirot from Sophie Hannah.

I had been anticipating reading this for months after enjoying 'The Monogram Murders' two years ago, and this certainly did not disappoint. This is a classic mystery with the interactions of the characters and the chain of events taking the story on many twists and turns, skilfully tied together by Poirot in the final chapters.

A fantastic read.

The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A deliciously devious supernatural murder mystery from the Queen of Golden Age Crime.

“And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him.” Revelation 6:8

Late one autumn evening, Father Gorman is summoned to the bedside of a dying woman to hear her confession. He is deeply troubled by what he hears, frantically recording a list to ensure he does not forget its contents. Before he reaches home, he is brutally murdered in the street, a crime that shocks the local community and leaves police baffled.

Historian Mark Easterbrook, after witnessing a brief incident between two women in a coffee shop, notices a familiar name in the Deaths column in the newspaper. He thinks little more of it, until a visit to the theatre and a subsequent conversation remind him. This is when he first hears mention of a pale horse. Synchronicity strikes soon after as he hears the term again. Then, while visiting the home of his late godmother, Mark runs into an old acquaintance, a police surgeon who is investigating a list found on the person of a murdered priest.

Finding himself drawn deeper into the case, Mark encounters a purported coven of witches, suspecting he may have uncovered a nefarious conspiracy wielding dangerous and unimaginable power. With the help of Ginger, a spirited art restorer, he endeavours to uncover the truth and ultimately solve the mystery behind the Pale Horse.

Agatha Christie is genius, her mysteries always clever and packed with twists, the solutions chilling and psychologically authentic. Her stories were amongst the first crime fiction books that I read, beginning with ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ at ten years old (having fallen in love with the ‘Agatha Christie’s Poirot’ TV adaptations prior to this), and picking up the minor few stories I’ve not yet read many years later is always pure enjoyment. ‘The Pale Horse’ is no exception – gripping, enthralling and fast-paced; I devoured the story over Hallowe’en weekend. Christie wrote relatively few supernaturally-themed stories, so this novel is a gem – similar in tone and style to Dennis Wheatley’s occult novels. Though I worked out whodunit, this is nevertheless a fully entertaining and engaging mystery.

Though a standalone novel, ‘The Pale Horse’ features appearances of several characters who have appeared in other novels, significantly Ariadne Oliver, who assisted Poirot with several cases, the first being ‘Cards on the Table’, from which two other characters return. Mrs Oliver also references the events of another Poirot novel when discussing a village fete. Two characters from the Miss Marple novel ‘The Moving Finger’ also feature; long before the concept of fictional universes became mainstream, Christie subtly established one with her literary characters.

The novel has been adapted for television three times – first as a TV movie in 1996 by ITV. It was again adapted for ITV as an episode of ‘Agatha Christie’s Marple’, written by Russell Lewis (who would later create ‘Inspector Morse’ prequel ‘Endeavour’ and has also written the upcoming adaptations of Peter James’ Roy Grace novels). The most recent adaptation was for the BBC in 2020, a mini-series written by Sarah Phelps, this her fifth Christie adaptation for television.

The novel is also notable for having reportedly saved multiple lives, including a baby, and contributed to the apprehension of a serial killer – (*SPOILER*) due to its detailed description of the symptoms of thallium poisoning.

Thrilling, chilling, the perfect read of dark autumn and winter evenings, ‘The Pale Horse’ is a sublime collision between the worlds of crime and supernatural mystery.

Midwinter Murder: Fireside Mysteries from the Queen of Crime by Agatha Christie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Marple tells of a Christmas tragedy which she unravelled some years before…

A hugely enjoyable collection of Agatha Christie's festive and wintry short stories, 'Midwinter Murder' features appearances from many of her famous creations. I had read most of these stories in the past, but what a pleasure it was to revisit them all these years later - particularly those featuring Poirot and Miss Marple. If I had to choose favourites, it would be those featuring these two characters.

Each story is a little mystery that can be read in one sitting - while enjoying a morning coffee or an evening hot chocolate, or just before you put out the light for bed. Highly recommended for old and new Christie fans, this would be a marvellous introduction for readers new to her work or a nostalgic treat for those who first enjoyed these stories many years ago.

It wouldn't be Christmas without a mystery or two, and no one does them better than Agatha Christie. So set the fire ablaze and get set to tease your little grey cells once again.

The Killings at Kingfisher Hill by Sophie Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot returns to unravel another complex mystery in the fourth novel in Sophie Hannah’s continuation series.

Poirot has received a request to investigate a murder for which someone has already been convicted. Not only that, he has been asked to do this without anyone knowing that he is doing so. Along with his friend, Inspector Catchpool of Scotland Yard, Poirot is preparing to travel via luxury coach to the Kingfisher Hill estate, where the murder took place.

But before they even embark on their journey, Catchpool and Poirot encounter a woman behaving strangely, who declares that, if she takes this journey, she will be murdered. Stranger still, whilst travelling, Poirot is told a confession to an unknown murder by a stranger. Before they arrive at the Devonport family home, Poirot is deeply intrigued to find he already has three mysteries to solve.

Whilst concealing their true motives for being there, Poirot and Catchpool endeavour to begin their investigation. But the mystery is to become more complex still – only Poirot’s deductive genius can unravel the tangled web and find the truth behind the killings at Kingfisher Hill.

Sophie Hannah’s previous three novels featuring Poirot were superb, and this is yet another fantastic story. Engrossing, thrilling and well-written, it is driven equally by the increasing complexity of the mystery and the well-developed characters – the Devonport family is both entitled and troubled, some of them at times obnoxious and deeply frustrating for the detectives. Alongside Catchpool, we witness Poirot work, applying order and method to decipher the clues. As all the best mysteries are, this is an emotional and intellectual journey, with moments of perplexity, humour and danger along the way.

It would not be a Poirot novel without the final ‘drawing room revelation’ as Poirot gathers all the players together and reveals the truth behind the case. These are my favourite moments – Poirot always displaying his passion, morality, sheer brilliance and ingenuity with theatrical flair.

Once again, I loved this novel and long may these new cases continue. Sophie Hannah has already announced she is working on a fifth in the series, which I eagerly await. When I first encountered Poirot many years ago, I never imagined I would experience the joy of a brand new novel in the series. To have experienced this four times is truly a gift.

Full of devious twists and intriguing turns, ‘The Killings at Kingfisher Hill’ is a perfectly plotted puzzle to stimulate and entertain the little grey cells. I cannot recommend this series enough.

Marple: Twelve New Stories by Naomi Alderman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Agatha Christie's Miss Marple returns in a collection of mysteries by contemporary writers.

Schemes of blackmail and murder in a small village…
St. Mary Mead’s vicarage is once again host to murder…
A trip to Manhattan turns deadly…
Miss Marple unravels a public family drama…
Christmas celebrations are interrupted by a jewellery theft…
A sudden death in an academic circle…
A killer strikes on an Oriental cruise ship…
A wedding is interrupted by a sudden poisoning…
A writer plots a murder in the sunny Mediterranean…
Miss Marple’s great-grand-niece becomes embroiled in a murder…
A peaceful visit to a Sussex village leads Miss Marple to uncover a string of murders…
Called back to St. Mary Mead, Miss Marple is asked to investigate a man’s sudden disappearance…

'Marple' presents twelve short stories by twelve mystery and thriller writers, celebrating one of Agatha Christie's most ingenious characters and her second most famous detective - Miss Jane Marple. Behind her unassuming appearance of the elderly spinster and legatee of the Victorian era, in her neat quaint cottage where she tends her garden in the small chocolate-box English village of St. Mary Mead, is a woman with a keen understanding of human nature and a skill at solving even the most complex of mysteries.

Every one of these stories is a perfect slice of the genius of Miss Marple, as sharp, unobtrusive and quietly observant as ever, capturing the subtlety, intuition and intellect with which Christie wrote her character. My personal favourites were:
'The Second Murder at the Vicarage' by Val McDermid, for its vintage style and sleight-of-hand solution;
'Miss Marple's Christmas' by Ruth Ware, for its festive, classic mystery atmosphere;
'A Deadly Wedding Day' by Dreda Say Mitchell, for its thrilling pace and twists in the narrative;
'The Mystery of the Acid Soil' by Kate Mosse, for its detail-driven plotting and masterful piece of detection.

This collection has so much to delight a mystery reader - secrets and lies, plotting and scheming, adultery and affairs of the heart, clever thefts and strange disappearances, and, of course, brutal murders. Featuring an eclectic mix of supporting characters, which also include some reappearances of several from Christie's own stories, such as nephew Raymond and friend and neighbour Dolly Bantry, the stories are told from differing perspectives, taking place across multiple locations. With allusions and references to Christie’s stories, this collection of tales makes for an indulgent treat.

Part of the genius of the Miss Marple stories is in how so many people simply dismiss her as an elderly woman. This theme remains as timely as ever - the elderly often written off, their time passed. Within the collection, we experience how elderly people are seen in other cultures, revered for their wisdom, knowledge and life experience – in contrast to what is often seen in British society and similar cultures. As well as exploring perceptions of the elderly, the underlying theme of aging also runs throughout the collection - how it feels to grow old, especially as a woman, to fade into the background (or be expected to), while your mind may remain as it ever was. It's quite unclear just how old Miss Marple is in her later stories, but she never loses the twinkle in her eye or her ability for astute and quick observation. If we must grow old, as all of us who are lucky enough to do so must, then let it be as Miss Marple does.

Miss Marple, much like Poirot and many other classic detectives, was a delightful part of my childhood. As Sophie Hannah has done with her 'Poirot' novels, the authors featured in this collection have offered the world something we believed lost with the passing of Agatha Christie - new stories featuring these incredible characters. Like Christie's entire legacy, Miss Marple remains immortal.

A marvellous collection of mysteries, both fresh and nostalgic, ‘Marple’ proves the magic of Agatha Christie never wavers, her spirit within each of these tales from twelve talented authors.

Agatha Christie: A Very Elusive Woman by Lucy Worsley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A mesmerising biography of the Queen of Crime.

Agatha Christie - novelist, short story writer and playwright; a true icon of Golden Age detective fiction, indeed, across the spectrum of crime fiction; the creator of Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple and many more, a pioneer amongst female writers and an inspiration to all who write.

In 'Agatha Christie: A Very Elusive Woman', historian Lucy Worsley takes us on a journey through Agatha's life, from her birth in 1890 and early years with her family, through her courtship and first marriage, her work during the First World War and the beginnings of her writing career, with significant attention to her famous 1926 disappearance. From there, we explore her continued flourishing career and second marriage, through the decades which saw the Second World War, the beginning of the Cold War, and many developments in the world of art and entertainment. Agatha's success continued through to her death in 1976, and continues posthumously.

Worsley's style of making history accessible and thrilling to a modern audience is brought superbly to the life and work of Agatha Christie and reference to almost a century of contemporary context. Beautifully written with insight and empathy, and impeccably researched, with the hindsight of our modern perspectives on mental health, feminism, and societal views, Worsley's writing makes even existing knowledge fascinating to discover anew - channeling the magic of her subject. At the core of the narrative is Agatha’s craving for privacy and her battle to maintain it alongside her incredible success. No one can admire Agatha and her work and not feel, at times, the emotion in exploring the lowest points of her struggles and the heights of her successes, and ultimately at her passing.

Worsley pays special attention to the novels Christie wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott; within these, she explores some personal segments of her life and her own struggles through the characters. It should be noted, in segments of literary analysis and exploration of how Agatha's stories related to periods of her life and historical context, some plot details, including the final twists, are revealed - as such, I would highly recommend reading at least Agatha's most famous works before embarking on this biography. Also, don't miss the brilliant accompanying three-part documentary which Worsely produced for the BBC - 'Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen' – as riveting as the written biography.

Compelling and insightful, ‘Agatha Christie: A Very Elusive Woman’ is a fascinating, inspiring and moving portrait of a talented and remarkable woman, who was truly groundbreaking in her field and whose legacy lives on to this day.

SINISTER SPRING: Murder and Mystery from the Queen of Crime by Agatha Christie

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A springtime collection of classic mysteries.

Poirot's trip to the country is interrupted by a suspicious death...
Tommy and Tuppence hunt for a missing lady...
Miss Marple reviews a death by poisoning...
Poirot is consulted by a woman who is shortly found dead...
A sinister scheme in play behind an opera...
Miss Marple unpicks a locked room mystery...
Parker Pyne is drawn into a case of missing jewels...
Poirot investigates an impossible theft...
Miss Marple hears a tale of smuggling and missing gold bullion...
Mr Quin arrives at the scene of a high-stakes gamble...
A chance meeting with a girl on a train leads to adventure and intrigue...
Miss Marple untangles a devious plot at Greenshaw's Folly...

'Sinister Spring' is the third seasonal collection of selected stories by Agatha Christie, each with that refreshing breath of new life and the promise of summer. Compiled of twelve short stories, the volume stars Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, Parker Pyne, Quin and Satterthwaite, plus a couple of standalone stories, all taken from previous collections, having originally been published in magazines in the 1920s and 30s, aside from the final story published in 'The Daily Mail' in 1956.

Each of these stories is a gem - with puzzles and intrigue, mysterious thefts and nefarious murder plots, armchair detection and daring adventure; taking us from country homes to luxury hotels, aboard train journeys and on to the stage, all masterfully plotted unravellings of a tangled web.

Many of these stories were amongst the earliest Agatha Christie works I read in the Poirot and Miss Marple short story collections. Revisiting Christie's mysteries, whether through screen adaptations or re-reading is always a nostalgic and comforting treat of pure indulgence. Her work will always be a pleasure and an inspiration.

These seasonal collections are a delightful way to revisit classic Christie short stories, or pose a perfect starting point for anyone new to her work. I'm especially looking forward to 'Autumn Chills', coming later this year.

Autumn Chills: Tales of Intrigue from the Queen of Crime by Agatha Christie

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A thrilling collection of devilish mysteries for the autumn season.

Poirot investigates a locked-room murder…
Parker Pyne assists a rich woman in finding her happiness…
A woman finds herself haunted by her lost love…
Poirot untangles a perilous love triangle…
Miss Marple unearths the truth behind a young woman’s drowning…
A spirit board brings a message from the mysterious Mr Quin…

Satterthwaite and Quin are on hand to unravel a tragic family drama…
Poirot’s suspicions are aroused by the strange behaviour of a fellow diner…
A defence team must contend with an unexpected prosecution witness…

'Autumn Chills' is the fourth seasonal collection of Agatha Christie's short fiction, featuring a selection of her famous detectives and standalone mysteries across eleven short stories and one novelette, ‘Murder in the Mews’, which opens the collection. Every one of the twelve tales is an absorbing delicacy; a riveting selection of sinister mysteries, fiendish villainy and clever detection, along with flourishes of romance and the supernatural.

The stories starring Poirot and Miss Marple always shine, both detectives never failing to captivate us with their insight and ingenuity. Plus, included are perhaps two of my favourite stories to feature Quin and Satterthwaite, providing us those supernatural vibes for the season, while chilling fable 'While the Light Lasts' stands out as a gem. Tommy and Tuppence and Parker Pyne also make appearances, while the classic legal mystery ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ concludes this masterful showcase of fiction.

I devoured the entire collection, as I have the previous three. With many of these being re-reads, there were enchanting moments of nostalgia; perfect comfort-reads for getting into the autumn spirit while cozily wrapped up indoors as the nights begin to darken. Each of these seasonal collections has been a pure pleasure, complete with their beautiful artwork and deluxe hardcover editions. No sooner had I finished reading, I was already anticipating the next time I revisit Christie’s work. Whether on the page, stage or screen, the Queen of Crime’s plots and characters continue to stand the test of time, never failing to intrigue, entertain, and take us back to a bygone era.

Hercule Poirot's Silent Night by Sophie Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A Yuletide mystery for Agatha Christie's most famous detective.

A bizarre request from an unexpected visitor finds Poirot and Catchpool journeying to stay at Frellingsloe House with the Laurier family in the days leading up to Christmas.

Poirot seems particularly intrigued by the case of the murder victim – a man who appeared to be truly happy and one whom no one would appear to want dead. Meanwhile, all the Laurier family wish is for the case to be solved to prevent a dying man from attempting to track the killer.

Having no desire to spend Christmas away from home, Poirot and Catchpool have only a few days to identify a murderer, but it may already be too late to prevent a chain of events that will result in further deaths.

'Hercule Poirot's Silent Night' is the fifth of Sophie Hannah's Poirot novels, continuing the series by Agatha Christie. Set in 1931, it takes place during Poirot's time as a consulting detective based in London between the world wars. Assisting Poirot is Scotland Yard Inspector Edward Catchpool, who has co-starred in each of Hannah's Poirot novels so far. Once again narrated by Catchpool, we are drawn into a twisty mystery with a dark philosophical edge and psychological depth.

With the primary setting of an isolated house, one in a state of dilapidation and impending destruction in a rather gothic approach to the classic mystery setting of the English country mansion, we are presented with the classic limited and specific list of suspects of Golden Age crime fiction. The residents of Frellingsloe House are a bizarre crowd; on the surface their behaviour appearing somewhat erratic and unexpected, while beneath the skin their relationships are fraught with emotional tension and unease. Amongst them is Catchpool’s mother, further complicating matters with emotional turmoil for our narrator and a deeper insight into his character and history.

Christie was always exceptional at writing the darkness simmering beneath the surface; Hannah emulates this effectively, bringing that darkness closer to the surface – much like some of the more recent screen adaptations have – akin to the tone of Christie’s later Poirot novels. The identity of the perpetrator reveals itself slowly and carefully, the explanation steadily rising to the surface and culminating in a stark and emotional revelation, steered by Poirot’s usual theatrical presentation of the investigation, the evidence and the solution. Once again, Sophie Hannah delivers a gripping and entertaining novel, demonstrating the sheer brilliance of the detective we know and love.

Poirot will always hold a special place in my heart – on both page and screen, he and Christie’s wider work were my true discovery of crime and detective fiction. These five new mysteries have been a gift, and I hope for more to come.
