Murder Is Easy
by Agatha Christie
After years abroad, retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam returns to England only to encounter a frantic elderly lady on a train who claims a serial killer is at work in her quiet village. Miss Pinkerton insists that several people have already died and names a local doctor as the next victim, but Luke dismisses her story as the fancy of a vivid imagination. His skepticism turns to dread when he learns Miss Pinkerton was killed in a hit-and-run shortly after their meeting and the doctor she named has died suddenly. Driven by a policeman's instinct, Luke must now investigate the peaceful village of Wychwood-under-Ashe to discover if murder really is as easy as she claimed.
