Rezensionen
"Hannah gets it right in every particular - her extraordinary feat is to make the reader forget very quickly that the novel is not, in fact, written by Dame Agatha herself."-The Times

"Poirot purists will be in seventh heaven."-Daily Telegraph

"Within the first few pages of The Monogram Murders it is obvious that we are in safe hands. Sophie Hannah has written a novel that would have delighted the Queen of Crime."-The Independent

"A brilliant new murder mystery which picks up where the grande dame of crime left off"-Mail on Sunday

"Both faithful to the character and an entirely worthy addition to the canon. The plot is as tricky as anything written by Agatha Christie. Nothing is obvious or predictable in this very difficult Sudoku of a novel. The Monogram Murders has a life and freshness of its own. Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back."- Alexander McCall Smith in The New York Times

"Sophie Hannah had large boots to fill... Nevertheless, she manages it with considerable wit, charm and ingenuity."-Sunday Express

"Equal parts charming and ingenious, dark and quirky and utterly engaging ... I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands. Reading The Monogram Murders was like returning to a favourite room of a long-lost home."-Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl

"Perfect ... a pure treat for Agatha Christie fans."-Tana French, author of The Secret Place

"Sophie Hannah's The Monogram Murders does Christie proud. Our favourite detective is back and in impeccable form!"-Charles Todd

"Sophie Hannah is a prodigious talent. I can't wait to see what she does next."-Laura Lippman
