![The Monogram Murders: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot series Book 42) by [Hannah, Sophie, Christie, Agatha]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51MMXVmeK0L.jpg)
Sophie Hannah has been writing novels about Hercule Poirot for several years. She has had the blessing of the Agatha Christie estate in doing this. The Monogram Murders was first, followed by Closed Casket. The third in the series, The Mystery of Three Quarters will be published at the end of August. Personally, I prefer the original novels but these have gotten good press so I draw your attention to this, in case you would like to get started.
