Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at the fashionable Bloxham Hotel have been murdered, a cufflink 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…

Lagom till Agatha Christies 125-årsjubileum släpps den första nya Hercule Poirot-romanen på 39 år. Den brittiska deckarförfattarinnan Sophie Hannah handplockades till uppdraget att skriva denna spännande återkomst. 

London, 1920-tal. Under sin sedvanliga torsdagsmiddag på Pleasant’s Coffee House råkar Hercule Poirot på Jennie. Hon är jagad, rädd och påstår att hon kommer att bli mördad, men att mordet på henne är det enda sättet att skipa rättvisa.

Samma kväll inträffar tre mord på det eleganta Bloxham Hotel. Tre offer påträffas i tre olika sovrum – vart och ett med en manschettknapp med ett monogram i munnen.

Inga fans lär bli besvikna när Hercule Poirot återvänder i en ny elegant pusseldeckare. I Monogrammorden briljerar den älskade detektiven med sitt knivskarpa öga för detaljer och intuitiva förståelse för det människliga psyket.

 

"Det gör mig lycklig att se den belgiske detektiven i så goda händer. Att läsa Monogrammorden är som att återvända till ett favoritrum i ett sedan länge förlorat hem."

–Gillian Flynn, författare till Gone Girl

 

"Hannah gör ett fantastiskt jobb! [...] man kan bara önska att hon fortsätter förse oss med sin version av den belgiske detektiven."

 –Publisher’s Weekly
