The A.B.C. Murders
Agatha Christie (1936)

█ Are all of Christie's novels commenta-
█ ry on criminal justice? This one has a
█ strong focus on the introduction of
█ psychoanalysis and weighing death pe-
█ nalty against agonisingly long prison
█ sentences. Compares the latter to fox
█ hunts, which are also condemned. Comi-
█ cally modern descriptions of what one
█ would today call autism, such as "boys
█ into trains" and "railway-minded men".
