The ABC Murders

The pacing of this book is just awesome. It was non-stop, and just the right mix of Poirot-ness, Hastings perspectives, and the other investigators (most of them related to the murder victims.)I just read [b:The Alienist 40024 The Alienist (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, #1) Caleb Carr http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169386132s/40024.jpg 2266643] and was done with serial killers for awhile ... but wait! This Christie novel is about a serial killer, too. The killer has a unique MO: the first victim's name starts with ‘A' and so does the town in which the murder takes place, the second victim's name starts with ‘B' and so does the town in which that murder takes place, etc. Meanwhile, the serial killer is sending letters to Poirot before he kills his victim, and we know how much Poirot loves a challenge such as this.Also, I give myself some props since I was almost right in my narrowing down of possible suspects. I was definitely headed in the right direction, and that's a first.
