The A.B.C. Murders

The A.B.C. Murders (1936) is a detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring Hercule Poirot.

Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers.

In the ABC murders an apparent serial killer is murdering people in order of their names: first Annabel Ascher of Andover, second Betty Barnard of Bexhill, third Sir Carmichael Clarke of Churston, and so on. A man by the name of Alexander Bonaparte Cust is arrested for the murderers, but Poirot deduces that the murders were committed in order to hide one specific murder.
