ReviewsLiterary magic...The stew is richly seasoned with Christie's iconic plot devices...I'd challenge any Christie-phile to find differences between her distinctive writing style and Hannah's mirroring of it...It's great to have the illustrious Poirot back on the case., Does Sophie Hannah's Poirot live up to our expectations? Yes, he does, and markedly so... As tricky as anything written by Agatha Christie. The Monogram Murders has a life and freshness of its own. Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back. , "Sophie Hannah does an egoless, silky job of reviving Agatha Christie's beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot...enough so to hope that Hannah turns to Miss Marple next." -- USA Today "Christie herself, some might say, could do no better.... Enough twists, turns, revelations and suspects to cook up a most satisfying red-herring stew. Literary magic." -- Washington Post "Does Sophie Hannah's Poirot live up to our expectations? Yes, he does, and markedly so.... As tricky as anything written by Agatha Christie. The Monogram Murders has a life and freshness of its own. Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back." -- Alexander McCall Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency "Perfect...a pure treat." -- Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret Place "Terrific.... uncanny. As Hercule Poirot himself would say, 'Bravo, Madame Hannah. Bravo.' " -- Boston Globe "Sophie Hannah is a prodigious talent. I can't wait to see what she does next." -- Laura Lippman "Sophie Hannah's idea for a plot line was so compelling and her passion for my grandmother's work so strong, that we felt that the time was right for a new Christie to be written." -- Mathew Prichard, grandson of Agatha Christie "Sharply written and rigorously plotted, this Poirot mystery rivals many of Christie's own." -- NPR "Equal parts charming and ingenious, dark and quirky and utterly engaging...I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands.

Worthy of Agatha herself!
Intrigued by the claims that “The New Hercule Poirot Mystery”, written with the approval of Agatha Christie’s heirs, was worthy of being offered as a continuation of Christie’s masterpieces, I skeptically purchased a copy and began to read it. It opened with a most encouragingly authentic first chapter that quickly grabbed both my attention and interest. Thereafter, my opinion fluctuated as the plot developed and more characters entered the scene. But soon I came to see Poirot’s new policeman friend from Scotland Yard, Edward Catchpool, as the best companion yet created as a foil for a master detective. Catchpool is not unduly slow to understand. Rather, his degree of naiveté and gullibility perfectly match the reader’s, at least this reader’s. Although my busy life usually forces me to read a book a few pages now and a few more when I next find time, The Monogram Murders quickly forced me to keep on reading in spite of the call of other duties. Hannah’s Hercule Poirot is Christie’s Poirot returned to life as successfully as Doyle’s Holes was resurrected, even though by a different author in this case. The complexities of the plot, the false, seeming solutions, and the final resolution were masterful and satisfying. May there be many more Hercule Poirot mysteries to follow!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
