Description
When Alice Ascher is murdered in Andover, Hercule Poirot is already on to the clues. Alphabetically speaking, it's one down, twenty-five to go.
There's a serial killer on the loose. His macabre calling card is to leave the ABC Railway guide beside each victim's body. But if A is for Alice Asher, bludgeoned to death in Andover; and B is for Betty Bernard, strangled with her belt on the beach at Bexhill; then who will Victim C be?

Such a light read of short stories to keep busy. I love the way Poirot solves everything making it look so "obvious". I have to admit that there were some cases where everything looked way too convenient, or where "the truth" seems way to fictional and fantastic, some even feel like a guess, but overall I loved this book. Highly recommended.

En este misterio tuve razón en algo que sospechaba (¡por fin!)... pero no lo cuento para no hacer spoiler.
