Wishful Wednesday - Poirot's New Life

Wishful Wednesday 2014 #15

Selamat hari Rabu semua.

Di hari Rabu yang indah cerah ceria ini diriku sedang menginginkan sebuah buku yang katanya mampu memberi nyawa baru buat salah satu tokoh detektif paling terkenal di dunia, Hercule Poirot. Setelah "dibuat tamat" di buku terakhirnya, Curtain/Tirai (diterbitkan setelah kematian sang bunda pengarang, Agatha Christie di tahun 1976), baru sekarang ada pengarang lain yang mampu mengambil tokoh ini untuk membuat petualangan misteri baru baginya dan dituliskan dengan sangat baik hingga diakui oleh para pewaris Christie.


Jadi... sudah bisa menebak buku apa yang kuinginkan itu kan.... Ini dia bukunya:




The Monogram Murders, The New Hercule Poirot Mystery by Sophie Hannah

The bestselling novelist of all time. The world's most famous detective. The literary event of the year.

Since the publication of her first novel in 1920, more than two billion copies of Agatha Christie's novels have been sold around the world. Now, for the first time ever, the guardians of her legacy have approved a brand-new novel featuring Dame Agatha's most beloved creation, Hercule Poirot.

In the hands of internationally bestselling author Sophie Hannah, Poirot plunges into a mystery set in 1920s London – a diabolically clever puzzle sure to baffle and delight Christie's fans as well as readers who have not yet read her work. Written with the full backing of Christie's family, and featuring the most iconic detective of all time, this new novel is a major event for mystery lovers the world over.

‘I’m a dead woman, or I shall be soon…’ 

Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffeehouse is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered.  She is terrified – but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done.

Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at a fashionable London Hotel have been murdered, and a cufflink has been 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... 

 

Terus terang saja, tokoh Poirot ini yang benar-benar mempengaruhi seleraku dalam bacaan genre crime-fiction. Bahkan sebenarnya, hobi mengkoleksi buku aku juga berawal dari novel-novel AC yang mengetengahkan sosok detektif asal Belgia ini. Duh, jadi gak sabar nih, pengin baca buku ini. September masih lama ya..... :)
