The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie – Part Three
We discuss chapters 28-35 of Agatha Christie’s notorious serial murder story, ‘The ABC Murders’. Our criminal, Mr. ABC, has turned himself in. As Poirot prepares to interrogate the madman, he comments to Hastings that he expects to be lied to – only to have a twist dropped in his lap. How can the seemingly unbreakable alibi of our killer be broken? Perhaps the real lie is that this man is the killer at all. The papers are on the case’s tail and hungry for justice, so what can Poirot do to find the real killer buried in the entire population of England?
We’re also joined by Dervla McTiernan to talk about her latest thriller, ‘What Happened to Nina?’. A young couple go off for a hiking weekend together, and only one of them comes back. How do the four parents embroiled in the case find their own justice as the police lumber through the evidence.
Thank you to Harper Collins for providing copies of ‘What Happened to Nina?‘, and arranging our time with Dervla.
