“The ABC Murders”

Poirot appears to be in a battle of wits against a serial killer who is sending him anonymous letters, advertising the date and city where the murders will occur. This is a fairly good thriller, seasoned by the simultaneous story from what is ostensibly the killer’s perspective. Of course, nothing is ever as it seems in Christie’s stories, and the Why of ABC is quite ingenious.

So I got this book maybe three years ago? But decided that I was gonna read the Poirot books in the order that they were published. The big-name book in this collection is Death on the Nile, and it’s the first in the volume, but the A.B.C. Murders - which is the one I’m currently reading - is second in the running. What gives???? Also I despair of how many books are between Nile and Five Little Pigs ☠️
