How exciting to have a brand new Hercule Poirot novel! Its true to Agathas original style with plenty of classic drama and a dry sense of humour - who else would use grammar to help solve a murder? If youve never read a Poirot novel, or havent picked one up for many years, this is the perfect excuse to be reminded why Poirot is such a brilliant and timeless character.

"Poirot purists will be in seventh heaven."-Daily Telegraph

Poirot is back."- Alexander McCall Smith in The New York Times
"Sophie Hannah had large boots to fill... Nevertheless, she manages it with considerable wit, charm and ingenuity."-Sunday Express
"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 favourite room of a long-lost home."-Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl
