Three dead bodies lie posed in a swanky London Hotel. In each of their mouths is a monogrammed cuff link.
Hercule Poirot hangs out every Tuesday evening at a dive diner down the road eves dropping, chatting with the waitresses, and drinking their excellent coffee. He’s visited there by a mysterious “regular” but a stranger to him, and she seems fraught with panic over something but dashes away before Poirot can get to the bottom of it all.
Guess who is called upon to investigate these hotel crimes? None other.
Many clues abound. Many witnesses have seen “something,” but none of it is contextually plausible, given the evidence.
Nevertheless , Poirot and a local detective must sleuth out this mystery. No one and nothing is as it appears, including the victims.
The Monogram Murders was engrossing and brilliantly plotted. It occasionally made my brain hurt, but the pain was well worth it. Sophie Hannah has truly captured Agatha Christie's Poirot to perfection....
I only read Closed Casket. It took a bit longer than expected to solve the mystery. This author has done a good job of keeping Poirot alive but I'm not sure that I'll read the others from the collection
