Publisher's Summary
The world’s most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot – the legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and currently The Haunting in Venice – returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930’s London.
‘Murder! Me? How dare you!’
Hercule Poirot’s tranquil afternoon is ruined when an angry woman accosts him outside his front door. She threatens to report the famous detective to Scotland Yard for falsely accusing her of murder. Seeking sanctuary inside, Poirot is startled to find that he has a visitor – another stranger claiming to have received a letter from Poirot accusing him of killing the same man.
How many more innocent people have been sent letters? If Poirot didn’t send them, who did? And who is Barnabas Pandy, the alleged victim – is he dead or alive? Poirot has answers to find, and quickly, or more lives may be put in danger…

Loved it .. truly in the Christie style. An enjoyable Cosy Crime. Hopefully there will be yet more to come in the not too distant future.

Enjoyable
I thought this was an enjoyable mystery which kept me guessing. Sophie Hannah does a good job of rendering Poirot and his idiosyncrasies. I liked the narrator, who created a believable for each character . Yes, it took a while to get there, but so did Christie sometimes!

it was ok but too long and drawn out
there is a reason that Agatha Christy sold so well. This was not in that realm.

Oh I do miss Christie
Not a bad story. It’s a big long winded and I almost had to opt out but in the end I stayed to the end. The narrator was great but his Poiret isn’t all that hot. Trouble is I’ve seen all the tv series and the Belgium accent is perfect. This story is ok.

Most awful book
As someone who loves Agatha Christie’s books this was a horrible reimagining of her famous character. There were far too many superfluous characters who served no purpose, the climax was sadly wanting and the book went nowhere. Completely disappointing all round.

Weak Plot
I wanted to like this book but found that as the story progressed the plot was weak and by the end of the book I was proven right.
I have read Sophie Hannah before and enjoyed her writing but this one was disappointing.

Disappointing
Being a big fan of Agatha Christie’s Poirot I was sadly disappointed by this book. The story seemed to have too many sub plots and kept going off track giving us information about characters that we really didn’t need to know. It became slow and tedious and took far too long to get to the conclusion which was an anti climax, and I n the end I didn’t really care about any of the characters. Poirot’s character was too much of a deviation from the original and he became annoying. I think if a writer is going to use such a famous character in a book then they should stick to the original characteristics. The narrator did the best he could considering the clumsy over written text he had to deal with. The French accent became a bit much towards the end however.
