Publisher's summary

The world’s most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot - the legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and most recently The Monogram Murders and Closed Casket - returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930s London.

Returning home after lunch one day, Hercule Poirot finds an angry woman waiting outside his front door. She demands to know why Poirot has sent her a letter accusing her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met.

Poirot has also never heard of a Barnabas Pandy and has accused nobody of murder. Shaken, he goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him - a man who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy....

Poirot wonders how many more letters of this sort have been sent in his name. Who sent them, and why? More importantly, who is Barnabas Pandy, is he dead, and, if so, was he murdered? And can Poirot find out the answers without putting more lives in danger?

Critic reviews

"What Sophie and Agatha have in common is a rare talent for fiendish unpredictability. They make you see how the impossible might be possible after all." (Sunday Telegraph)

Not Agatha!

I would have enjoyed this book more if it hadn’t been a Poirot story, if it hadn’t Agatha Christie’s name on the cover. As an AC fan I was disappointed, the narrative and style is very different, and I found the plot and resolution to be a bit weak by AC standards. It is a mildly entertaining story with likable characters, and the narrator is awesome, sounds like multiple narrators doing different voices.

Good mystery but too boring at times

Overall it is a good plausible enough mystery with lots of twists and red herrings. Only it is waaaay too long at times and unnecessarily at that. Poirot didn't need to be that loquacious.

this is what a great narrator sounds like

Great idea to continue the Poirot character in a new series. Perfectly keeping up the good tradition. The narration by Julian Rhind-Tott takes the listening experience to a new level. Love everything about this book.
