Celebrating 100 years of Agatha Christie Stories
THE KILLINGS AT KINGFISHER HILL
The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah  

Bestselling author of numerous psychological thrillers,   Sophie Hannah is the perfect person to carry on the legacy of Hercule Poirot. She wrote The Monogram Murders, the first Poirot novel authorized by the estate of Agatha Christie, and its sequels Closed Casket and The Mystery of Three Quarters. In The Killings at Kingfisher Hill, Hannah does not disappoint—this meticulously plotted mystery captures all the intrigue and thrill for which Agatha Christie was venerated. The critics have raved:

 “There are more red herrings than you would find at a Swedish breakfast buffet, and the diminutive, mustachioed Belgian detective has never been cannier...”-- BookPage

“Who knows what the next few months will bring? It’s time to activate our Emergency Winter Thriller Protocol, which involves a fuzzy blanket, the comfort clothing of your choice, a hot drink, and a tall stack of diversionary books with pleasingly unrealistic plots. It’s hard to do justice to the clever, amusing, complicated works of Sophie Hannah, which rest as much on the tortured internal logic of their bonkers characters as on any normal standards of plot and motivation. Her latest book is on the surface a conventional whodunit — a homage to Agatha Christie starring Hercule Poirot himself, a psychological thriller with a characteristically intricate and humorous puzzle of a plot.” -- The New York Times
