From My TBR Pile: The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie

There's a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victim's corpe the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place. Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught - until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans.

Classic Mystery Authors/Series I've Never Read

I honestly can't believe I've never even cracked the cover of a Sherlock Holmes novel. I'm such a huge mystery fan, this seems so wrong. The closest I've been to Holmes is saying, "No shit, Sherlock," to someone stating the obvious.

Believe it or not, I've never read an Agatha Christie novel featuring Hercule Poirot. I've read some of her Miss Marple books, but not a single Poirot novel.

I loved the television series and movies, but have never cracked open one of Gardner's books. That's probably a crime.

I had never even heard of the Dalgliesh Mysteries until my in-laws asked about buying one of the movies.
