Solve the Mystery Behind the Sinister Letter with Microids' The A.B.C Murders

Agatha Christie - it is really hard to avoid the name. I have personally never read her novels, but I have seen many references to her works.

In fact my favorite reference is Family Guy's episode, "And Then There were Fewer," which was a take on her book "And Then There were None."

Well, a video game studio has decided to base a game on one of Agatha Christie's novels. Microids has revealed the adventure game, "The A.B.C Murders," is based on the murder mystery novel and is due for release during spring 2015 for PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One. Of course, don't confuse this game with the Nintendo DS version released back in 2009.

The plot:

Hercule Poirot receives a mysterious letter from a certain "A.B.C," announcing a soon-to-be committed murder. The player must investigate and find the potential murderer before the murderer succeeds with his vows.

Sounds like something up your alley?
