It’s classic Christie.
I can’t believe I had never read this book or seen either of the movies, but I certainly enjoyed it! But if you know Agatha Christie’s books, you know she does keep you guessing and that makes for a very interesting read.
Started reading Christie 50 years ago and she is still a favorite.
When Poirot is called back to England, he must forgo a planned layover in Istanbul and find a berth on a surprisingly crowded train. A freak snow storm strands the train on the tracks, and that night a murder takes place. The victim had come to Poirot because he feared that his life was in danger. With the train stuck, the killer is still on …
Absolutely fantastic!
If you haven’t read Agtha Chrisitie yet, please pick up a copy of Murder on the Orient Express. It features my favorite detective Belgian born, Hercule Poirot and this is one of his best cases. Agatha weaves an intricate story, great characters, unpredictable twists and clever clues throughout. I re-read this every year.
Far better than any mysteries I have ever read. Agatha Christie was a genius author.
Better play than a book to read.
If you like mysteries, you can’t go wrong with Agatha Christie.
VERY GOOD READ, WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE
A classic!
Love, love, love Agatha Christie
If you’re used to detailed mysteries, with numerous characters, this one is classic.
love Agatha Christie…..always an adventure
I just knew who the murderer was! Wrong! Fun read and soon after watched the movie which I liked very much as well.
Loved it!
I like Agatha Christie’s books. I bought this one because I wasn’t able to see the movie. I wasn’t disappointed.
I’m hooked on Agatha Christie now!
Superb, excellent character portrayal, just to be able to follow Agatha Christie’s plots is a finely developed skill. She is a true master, weaving all the parts of the story together to make another supreme mystery. Dame Agatha is on her mark!
Great oldie but goodie
