Named a New York Times Best Book to Give
The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot - legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile - returns to solve a delectably twisty mystery in this “masterful and multi-layered puzzle...adding a new dimension to a much-loved series” (NPR).
“Yet again, the diminutive man with the little gray cells delivers the goods.” (Wall Street Journal)
Hercule Poirot is traveling by luxury passenger coach from London to the exclusive Kingfisher Hill estate. Richard Devonport has summoned the renowned detective to prove that his fiancée, Helen, is innocent of the murder of his brother, Frank. Poirot will have only days to investigate before Helen is hanged, but there is one strange condition attached: He must conceal his true reason for being there from the rest of the Devonport family.
The coach is forced to stop when a distressed woman demands to get off, insisting that if she stays in her seat, she will be murdered. Although the rest of the journey passes without anyone being harmed, Poirot’s curiosity is aroused, and his fears are later confirmed when a body is discovered with a macabre note attached....
Could this new murder and the peculiar incident on the coach be clues to solving the mystery of who killed Frank Devonport? And if Helen is innocent, can Poirot find the true culprit in time to save her from the gallows?

Some have complained it is not as good as the original Christie books - but that is a hard standard to live up to. I thought this was very good, and really enjoyed it.

It is easy to forget that there are a lot of mediocre Christie books in addition to her masterpieces. The Hannah books fit in among the average Christie. They are enjoyable reads, but so far none has had the brilliant solution found in Christie's best, but that is perhaps an unfair bar to expect any author to achieve.
In this book we get all of the expected scenes. The country house with an unhappy family. A death in the past and a gathering of all the suspects at the end as Poirot reveals the solution which is a satisfactory one. Inspector Catchpole is along for the ride again. I find him fairly dull and wish Hannah would resurrect one of Christie's original side kicks.
Julian Rhind-Tutt is a great reader for a Poirot story on par with the readers of the Christie Poirot books.
As good as a standard Christie

What I received from this Poirot novel was a puzzle that drove me crazy. I thought I had a handle on it a couple of times, but I didn't, and as it gradually resolved, it was satisfying.
I disliked Poirot quite a lot in this story. But I have never really liked the character, and I think if Poirot were a real person, he would be a lot like this humorless, conceited pain in the posterior.
This is my favorite plot in the series so far. I highly recommend it!

Sophie isn't Agatha

She’s doing a hell of a job trying, though, and the effect —while overly-complicated & frustrating at times—has charm & merit. She captures the flavor of Agatha Christie, no small writerly feat, and one for which many people will no doubt criticize her for not *being* Agatha Christie.
Of course her work is not the exact same experience as and AC novel, because they are two different people. If one approaches these novels with the attitude that they are providing entertainment with the essence of AC, rather than expecting AC publishing from the grave, I think one might have a more enjoyable experience. The narration is excellent, and all characters easily identifiable.
Both enjoyable & frustrating
