Murder Is Easy

Murder Is Easy is a detective novel by Agatha Christie, first published in 1939. It is an English-language mystery built around an apparently straightforward case that slowly reveals a web of clues, suspicions, and misdirection. The book follows a classic detective-fiction structure, with a tight pace and a clear focus on puzzle solving rather than action.

It will suit readers who enjoy traditional whodunits, contained mysteries, and stories that ask you to pay attention to small details. If you like crime fiction that feels orderly, sharp, and centered on fair-play clues, this is a good fit. The book also includes a brief appearance by Superintendent Battle, which gives it a small link to Christie’s wider fiction without turning it into a series entry.
