Books like The monogram murders by Sophie Hannah
Hercule Poirot sits quietly in a London coffee house when a terrified young woman approaches him, begging that her impending murderer remain undetained. She believes that without intervention, “justice” will be served.
That night, Poirot learns that three guests have been killed in a well‑known London hotel, each with a cufflink placed in the victim’s mouth. As the mystery deepens, the pattern suggests a link to the woman’s warning. Working with other private investigators, Poirot hones in on the odd details, while the killer silently prepares a fourth victim in a hotel bedroom. The case tests Poirot’s deductive skill in a tense, London‑based crime drama set in the 1920s.
