In A Cat Among the Pigeons, Agatha Christie weaves a layered mystery set in a prestigious girls’ school where a seemingly straightforward crime opens into a world of espionage and hidden motives. The Ukrainian edition, published by Клуб сімейного дозвілля (KSD) and translated by Antonina Ivakhnenko, spans 352 pages in a durable hardcover format (approx. 125×170 mm).
The story begins with the murder of a physical education teacher in the quiet corridors of the girls’ boarding school. The crime shocks the faculty and students—who had reason to dislike her, but who would be bold enough to kill? When secrets emerge, an undercover plot involving an agent of the British intelligence service is uncovered. Valuable jewels, missing heirs, kidnapping, and hidden identities unfold, pulling the school into turmoil. It falls to Hercule Poirot, called upon reluctantly, to untangle the web of clues.
This edition brings Christie’s classic in a new light for Ukrainian readers: the translation preserves her elegant pacing and the tight structure of clues and red herrings. It’s ideal for those who love classical detective fiction, educated settings, and the interplay between war‑time suspicion and school life. The compact format makes it easy to carry, and the solid binding ensures it withstands repeated reads and reexaminations.
