The bestselling novelist of all time.

The world’s most famous detective.

The literary event of the year—an all-new mystery featuring

Agatha Christie’s legendary hero Hercule Poirot.

Since the publication of her first novel in 1920, more than two billion copies of Agatha Christie’s books have been sold around the globe. Now, for the first time ever, the guardians of her legacy have approved a brand new novel featuring Dame Agatha’s most beloved creation, Hercule Poirot.

‘I’m a dead woman, or I shall be soon...’

Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffeehouse is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered.  She is terrified – but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done.

Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at a fashionable London Hotel have been murdered, and a cufflink has been placed in each one’s mouth. Could there be a connection with the frightened woman? While Poirot struggles to put together the bizarre pieces of the puzzle, the murderer prepares another hotel bedroom for a fourth victim...

Review:
"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

"Literary 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."--Washington Post

"Sharply written and rigorously plotted, this Poirot mystery rivals many of Christie's own."--NPR

"A cracking mystery...As Hercule Poirot himself would say, 'Bravo, Madame Hannah. Bravo.'"--Boston Globe

"Equal parts charming and ingenious, dark and quirky and utterly engaging...I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands. Reading The Monogram Murders was like returning to a favorite room of a long-lost home."--Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

"Perfect...a pure treat for Agatha Christie fans."--Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret Place

"Sophie Hannah's The Monogram Murders does Christie proud. Our favorite detective is back and in impeccable form!"--Charles Todd, New York Times bestselling author of An Unwilling Accomplice

"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

"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
