Finished "The ABC Murders" by Agatha Christie (US title "The Alphabet Murders"). This was her 25th book, originally published in 1936.
A serial killer who murders people in alphabetical order of name taunts Poirot that he cannot be caught.
Pretty good, but not one of her best. This book is notable in that it's the last time we see Poirot's sidekick, Captain Hastings, until the very final Poirot book, "Curtain".
