Since the publication of her first novel, in 1920, more than two billion copies of Agatha Christie's books have been sold around the globe. Now, for the first time ever, the guardians of her legacy have approved a brand-new novel featuring Dame Agatha's most beloved creation, Hercule Poirot.
"I'm a dead woman, or I shall be soon.…"
Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffeehouse is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered. She is terrified - but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done.
Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at a fashionable London Hotel have been murdered, and a cufflink has been placed in each one’s mouth. Could there be a connection with the frightened woman? While Poirot struggles to put together the bizarre pieces of the puzzle, the murderer prepares another hotel bedroom for a fourth victim....

The narration darts around like a dog in a meadow, chasing butterflies of description and random inner dialogue that sometimes make it hard to follow the purpose of the scene. I find myself editing in my head and wonder why the publisher's editor didn't trim some of it.
The narrator is superb, however, and kept me listening with his excellent tone, character voices, and pacing.
I don't think the series is as terrible as others say. It just feels as if Hannah is trying a little too hard in this first ouvre. The second book is better.
Kudos to her for earning the privilege of carrying on the legacy so we can enjoy more Hercule Poirot.

Would you listen to The Monogram Murders again? Why?
I probably would, as I do listen more than once to favorite reads. I like the way Hannah has her grip around Poirot and the plot.Who was your favorite character and why?
Hercule, I think. I did also enjoy the hotelier and Fen, the server at The Pleasants cafe.Which character – as performed by Julian Rhind-Tutt – was your favorite?
Poirot. My only complaint would be that when he raised his voice so much it altered my volume and as I often listen in bed, this can disturb others in the home. Prefer an even toned narrator. Still, he was good.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The scene in the village with the tombstones and Martha watching out the cottage windows. It was harrowing.Any additional comments?
It cannot be easy to take on a book in the character of a long dead author, but I think Hannah did a superb job. Usually I do not like such, but this one was great. For example, the recent adaptations by modern authors of Jane Austen have been dismally bad.Read this if you have missed Hercule Poirot
