Enough twists, turns, revelations and suspects to cook up a most satisfying red-herring stew. Literary magic."--<em>Washington Post</em><br><br>"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."--<em>USA Today</em><br><br>"Terrific.... uncanny. As Hercule Poirot himself would say, 'Bravo, Madame Hannah. Bravo.' "--<em>Boston Globe</em><br><br>"Does Sophie Hannah's Poirot live up to our expectations? Yes, he does, and markedly so.... As tricky as anything written by Agatha Christie. The Monogram Murders has a life and freshness of its own. Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back."--Alexander McCall Smith, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency</i><br><br>"Perfect...a pure treat."--Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret Place<br><br>"Equal parts charming and ingenious, dark and quirky and utterly engaging...I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands.

I can't wait to see what she does next."--Laura Lippman<br><br>"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<br><br>"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<br>
