Murder on the Orient Express

Murder on the Orient Express

by Agatha Christie

Mystery, British Literature

1930′s, The Orient Express Train, Stamboul to London

Murder on the Orient Express is responsible for planting thrilling ideas about luxurious trains in my head. I’m tempted to take a trip on one, but I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed when I don’t meet up with Hercule Poirot.

To understand my obsession, one doesn’t need to read all of Christie’s books that feature this detective; his genius and the charm of his personality are revealed in full glory in this classic mystery.

As we’re stuck with the passengers on this train that is grounded in the snow, we’re entertained by the large cast of colorful characters with diverse personalities and backgrounds. When Poirot interviews them, we become more intimately familiar with each of them.

Will we prove ourselves worthy of becoming Poirot’s sidekick? Can we detect the real murderer among us?
