Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again
My first ever Agatha Christie, and I enjoyed. The style is VERY different from contemporary writing, so there’s a lot of repetition and explaining, but it was fun to read a well-written omniscient point of view. It wasn’t actually as edge-of-the-seat as I was expecting it to be, but I had fun trying to pay attention to every detail to see what I could pick up on (FYI — not at a lot).
