Recensione:

“Sophie Hannah does an egoless, silky job of reviving Agatha Christie’s beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot...enough so to hope that Hannah turns to Miss Marple next.” (USA Today)

“Christie herself, some might say, could do no better.... Enough twists, turns, revelations and suspects to cook up a most satisfying red-herring stew. Literary magic.” (Washington Post)

“Does Sophie Hannah’s Poirot live up to our expectations? Yes, he does, and markedly so.... As tricky as anything written by Agatha Christie. The Monogram Murders has a life and freshness of its own. Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back.” (Alexander McCall Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency)

“Perfect...a pure treat.” (Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret Place)

“Sophie Hannah is a prodigious talent. I can’t wait to see what she does next.” (Laura Lippman)

“Sharply written and rigorously plotted, this Poirot mystery rivals many of Christie’s own.” (NPR)
