The ABC Murders Novel Explained (AI Generated) - This Killer Kills Alphabetically | NOVELCAST Ep 1

The A.B.C. Murders is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, featuring her characters Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp, as they contend with a series of killings by a mysterious murderer known only as "A.B.C.". The book was first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 6 January 1936,[1] sold for seven shillings and sixpence (7/6)[2] while a US edition, published by Dodd, Mead and Company on 14 February of the same year, was priced $2.00.[3]
The form of the novel is unusual, combining first-person narrative and third-person narrative. This approach was previously used by Agatha Christie in The Man in the Brown Suit. In The A.B.C. Murders the third-person narrative is supposedly reconstructed by the first-person narrator of the story, Arthur Hastings.
The initial premise is that a serial killer is murdering people with alliterative names. The murders follow an alphabetical order, starting with a victim whose initials were A. A, and appear to lack a motive.
The novel was well received in the UK and the US when it was published. One reviewer said it was "a baffler of the first water",[4] while another remarked on Christie's ingenuity in the plot.[5] A reviewer in 1990 said it was "a classic, still fresh story, beautifully worked out".
