April 2012

Earth, 1930-something: The Doctor is enjoying a quiet train ride across Europe after an exciting adventure in Constantinople (involving a staring contest between a Dalek and a Weeping Angel) when a fellow passenger is murdered. With the train stopped by heavy snows, and the TARDIS nowhere in sight, the Doctor must use all his timey-wimey cunning to solve...THE MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS! And stop the universe from blowing up, again.

Oh, c'mon, you know they're going to do that story e...more

You are Mr. Ratchett. Or are you? Fame is not something you crave; comfortable retreat is your desired goal. You do not have a nice face and foreigners appear to hold that against you. In fact, all the passengers on this express ride through Europe seem to find displeasure in looking at what you consider to be a rather dignified and intelligent face. It is mystifying! Why all the cold shoulders? Why all the quickly averted glances? Why the anonymous notes? Your frustrat...more

It is a very easy read that carries the reader effortlessly into each chapter and section.

So, for those mystery lovers who have not read The Murder on the Orient Express so far, I will post a single line review: Go and read it! This one rocks! What are you waiting for?

Now, the review for fellow mystery and Christie lovers who have read the book(or like me, re-read umpteen number of times till the pages came out of the binding!).

(view spoiler)[Whodunits are like magic tricks. The writer shows you everything: the clues are all before your eyes: you rack your brains, trying to fit a solution on the jigsaw, but are unable to do so: then, in the last chapter, the author reveals that one bit of detail which you overlooked, but which was actually crucial to the solution. You kick yourself for being such an idiot, then bask in the afterglow of having been fooled by a master.

A conventional whodunit has certain rules. First, there is a murder. There are a fixed number of people who could have done the murder, who are equal in terms of motive and opportunity. As the story progresses through its twists and turns, the reader keeps on guessing, shifting his suspicion from one suspect to another. If the novel is well-written, the author will succeed in totally removing suspicion from the actual murderer before the final revelation.

Very rarely does an author break the basic rules and get away with it smoothly, as Agatha Christie does in this novel. It shows what a master of the craft she is.

The Murder on the Orient Express is a classic locked room mystery: in the snowed-in train, one of the twelve passengers have to be guilty. And as the past history of Ratchett (the victim) as the mastermind behind the kidnapping and murder of little Daisy Armstrong comes to light, we know that we are in for a real humdinger: because there are so many people wishing him out of the way, and many of them are likely to be on the Calais coach. But when Poirot unearths the fact that each and every one of the passengers is connected to the Armstrong family in some way, we feel that Dame Agatha has stretched coincidence to the limit, even if it is in the interest of a good detective yarn.

But then all is revealed: There is no coincidence. They are all there as part of a plan, and they are all guilty! In fact, Poirot is the coincidence, the joker in the pack.

I have not read another mystery where all the likely suspects are guilty! This is such a grand flouting of convention that would have fallen flat on its face, had not the story been carefully structured to make it possible. The American household is possibly the only one in the world where you can find all nationalities. If such had not been the case, the connection of the occupants of the coach to the Armstrong family would have been evident much before Christie wanted to reveal it. And the snowed-in train is the only possible setting where all the suspects could be cloistered without the possibility of outside interference, as the plotters thought the train would move on, and that the murder would be attributed to a person or persons unknown. It all fits in the end.

Also, this one story where the ending is just perfect.

(On rereading the story, I noticed certain incidents and snippets of dialogue (especially the one between Colonel Arbuthnot and Mary Debenham) which seemed to point in one direction but on hindsight, were crystal-clear in their meaning. This is why I love rereading Christie's books... it gives valuable insights into the author's technique.)

(hide spoiler)]

Dame Agatha Christie might not be a great writer: there are more "literary" mystery writers out there, like Dorothy L. Sayers and P. D. James. But as the spinner of a classical mystery, it is my humble opinion that there is none to touch her... and that there is no sleuth to match the little Belgian with the magnificent moustaches and the egg-shaped head.

I guess the reason I like reading Agatha Christie's murder mysteries so much is because I love me my unforgettable, mind-blowing endings. In every book I read. To me, if it's a story that doesn't end well (or rather, does not have a very good falling action), it's just an okay story. You have to end a story well. And Christie does it very well.

I read Murder on the Orient Express (in Spanish) for the first time when I was 12. It was my first mystery ever and I remember thinking it was boring. I kept at it though and my reward was the shocking denouement. Thus started my love for the mystery genre and Agatha Christie in particular. I've always rated this book 3-stars (I really think it's not the best by Mrs. Christie) but a book that converts you into a genre definitely deserves more than that!

Through the years I've read all of Agatha Christie's novels. I return to "Le Crime de l'Orient Express" because I love trains. (My dream is to travel the world on The Orient Express in a first class compartment.) But I can't imagine starting to read her books as an adult--it's such stultifyingly dull prose.

Although the story started slowly (as all mysteries really must), I was soon enthralled by this amazing writer.
The storyline has become synonymous with murder mystery fiction. A man is killed on an international railroad, and most of the action takes place in the former Yugoslavia. Christie presents a fascinating assembly of people/suspects, and her wonderful detective, Hercule Poirot right in the middle of it all.
I have heard other people complain that the resolution of the story is a cop-out, and almost impossible to solve by a typical reader, but I thought it was both clever and disturbing. I may be a less discriminating reader though, as I do not much put much effort (at this time) in figuring out mysteries before I am told who did it.

4 Characters
Christie’s characters are all alive and dynamic. Christie hints to the true nature behind the players, and their slight discomfort with traveling under assumed pretenses, marvelously.

3.5 Pace
The pace of the story is as it should be for a detective mystery. There were a few times I wanted her to cut to the chase, but Poirot keeps his observations and thoughts from the reader.

4 Story
The story behind the murder, along with the setting and the cast, combine to create a very memorable tale. I will revisit this again.

4.5 Dialogue
Christie is something of a master of dialogue. You can hear Poirot’s funny foreign voice, and each of the characters (a cast that includes Europeans and Americans) speak perfectly. Furthermore, there is something betrayed in each member of the conspiracy, something in how they speak, that is nothing short of brilliance on the author’s part.

3.5 Style/Technical
Christie writes quite plain, without any special techniques. Her style is there though, and it manifests through pacing, characters, and dialogue. Everything is clear, though I did sometimes confuse who was speaking.

3.9 Overall
“Murder on the Orient Express” is a classic and it deserves its throne. I would have liked more exotic locales, but otherwise it is an amazing and fast read that I am certain I will visit again. The characters are a particular delight.(less)

Agatha Christie's Poirot is always sure to tickle not only your "little grey cells" but also your every human emotion. Poirot's dry humor is a delight.

You can't help but wince at his ridiculous waxed mustache. But above all, you'll marvel at his intelligence.

I haven't read many books by Agatha Christie as the genre is not among my favourites I must admit, but I read this one in English years ago and enjoyed it a lot. A very quick read, with a surprising end which is perfectly connected with every single hint given all through the book. Perhaps the psychological insight is not really carried out, as the main focus is on the survey and its logic, of course.

Wow. I was surprised by Murder on the Orient Express, not only of who did it, so to speak, but also of the ending. I have to admit I was quite impressed - or more to the point, stunned - by the latter. It was quite brilliant and not what I would expect from our protagonist, M. Poirot, to have quietly accepted the matter so. I have also to admit to being charmed by his honest, blunt descriptions.

Review by: Nick Olsen

With murder, mystery and a plethora of interesting suspects, Agatha Christie makes you feel as if you’re living out game of Clue. Her book Murder on the Orient Express, although it was published in 1933, it is still one of the great classics of mystery.
As with all great murder mysteries Murder on the Orient Express starts with, well, murder. The main character Hurcule Poirot is a mustached detective from Belgium and a reoccurring character in the works of Agatha Christie.

While traveling on the Orient Express, a train that ran from the Middle East to Western Europe, Hurcule Poirot becomes wrapped up in a murder. The odd circumstances are that the Orient Express ran into a snow bank and now all the suspects of the murder are forced to stay together until help arrives.

The reason I love this book is the time period in which it is set. During 1934 the world is very different than it is now. 1934 was a time of great discovery with the starting of museums, and the invention of many of the things we take for granted. To give you a sense of the times, the telephone was just beginning to make commercial progress. Adolf Hitler was just beginning to come to power, and Communist doctrine was just beginning to spread. I learned about the impressive and rather interesting lives of the upper class in Europe and America. This time is unique and I think reading Murder on the Orient Express would give anyone a greater perspective on the industrial revolution.

Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery and rightly so. Agatha is the most widely published author of all time. She is outsold only by the bible and Shakespeare. Agatha Christie was born on September 15th, 1890. Agatha lived through both World Wars and led a life of extravagant travel. She died peacefully on January 12th, 1971.

If you have never read a book by Agatha Christie, I recommend you do so. If you say that it is impossible for you to read mystery because you don’t like the genre, it is still worthwhile. I don’t like the genre of mystery either but, I read and liked this book.

“The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.” - Agatha Christie.

As a disclaimer this is hardly a typical review but more a reflection on when I read this years ago. And also, a reflection upon mystery novels and genre authors.

I seem to have made it my unofficial goal to have one great female author in every genre that I read (and vice versa). For Tolkien I have Susanna Clarke or Catherynne M. Valente; for Asimov and Bradbury in sci-fi I seem to have Anne McCaffrey (but other female sci-fi authors are waiting to be discovered). I still need to add a male author to the classic romance authors I love such as Austen, Elliot and the Brontes but perhaps Hardy may suffice. I also need to find a female author in the genres of gothic horror fiction, westerns and historical fiction (in general I need to read more historical fiction). It is not as if I set out to find male authors to contrast female authors or female authors to contrast the men, but rather I set out to find powerful novels regardless of who wrote them.

The point of this all is that when I first read Murder on the Orient Express it was my first real taste of murder mystery fiction. A taste which led me towards the brilliance of Sherlock Holmes and other such classic mystery. In my young eyes Murder on the Orient Express was brilliantly plotted, full of twists and turns. Though Agatha Christie may be the world's biggest selling novelist of all time her work is hardly designed to be contriving, rather she seemed to set out to write a strong novel, an aim that paid off.

Since reading this Agatha Christie novel I have discovered some of her other works. All generally strong, yet some stronger than others. It is clear to me that for her entire work Christie is a marvel of the mystery genre and should be read by all mystery fans. And my encouragement would be that, as Christie appears to have set out to write the best novels she could that we as readers look to read the best fiction we can find. I'd hate to find that my reading was becoming contrived on the basis of reading too many of one particular genre or author...(less)
