The story centers on the formidable Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and his old friend Arthur Hastings, who navigate a series of chilling murders orchestrated by a mysterious killer known only as "A.B.C."

The reader is drawn into a complex puzzle, where Poirot must use his considerable detective skills to outsmart the killer and stop the sequence of murders, demonstrating Christie’s brilliance in crafting meticulously plotted mysteries that captivate and engage.
