Murder is Easy by Agatha Christie is a cunningly plotted detective novel set in the seemingly tranquil English village of Wychwood-under-Ashe, where a series of apparently accidental deaths conceals a far more sinister pattern. When retired police officer Luke Fitzwilliam encounters the eccentric Miss Pinkerton on a train, she confides that a serial killer is at work in her village and names the next likely victim. Soon after, both Miss Pinkerton and the identified target end up dead, driving Luke to investigate undercover. Navigating a web of rural secrets, superstition, and hidden malice, he uncovers that almost anyone could be the murderer—and the truth is more devious than it first appears. 

Murder is Easy is a classic Christie whodunit, notable both for its clever misdirection and absence of her famous detectives, inviting readers to unravel its puzzle alongside a lesser-known but compelling sleuth.
