A.B.C Murders

Hercule Poirot and Hastings are still trying to find out who the murderer is. The investigation of Sir Carmichael Clarke's murder is lasting a while but it seems that they are getting nowhere in the investigation. Poirot is trying to pick out little things from each person hoping that the smaller details will lead to more clues forming a bigger picture and widening the investigation. The victims’ families are trying to come together to help in the investigation because they are set on finding the murderer especially before he hits his next victim. For some reason the time span between this murder and the next is lengthy.

Later on, Poirot receives the next letter that another murder will occur in Doncaster. In a twist, when they arrive at the murder scene the wrong person is killed. This starts to bring about great question since the murder is making it even more confusing. A while after this murder, a man named Alexander Bonaparte Cust comes forward to the police and says he is the murderer. It would be a perfect ending but Alexander has no recognition of himself committing the murders due to epilepsy but all of the evidence leads towards him. According to what he says, he is a stocking salesman and was around the areas at all times of the murders. Though it is apparent that the murderer is caught, Poirot knows better and does not believe that it was Cust who committed all of these murders, especially without an ounce of memory to back it up. Later, Poirot helps to clears Cust’s name and he is let free leaving the A.B.C murderer still at large.
