A standard Agatha Christie mystery, Murder on the Orient Express revolves around.. you guessed, a murder on the Orient Express. But have no fear, esteemed detective Hercule Poirot is abroad the train and takes it upon himself to solve the murder!

Mielenkiintoinen kirja, joka pitää otteessaan loppuun asti. Sitä jää miettimään kuka murhan teki ja miten, sitä epäilee kaikkia ja kaikenlaisia loppuratkaisuja.

I feel as though this would have been a favorite Agatha Christie of mine if it weren't for the fact that I already knew what was going to happen. Give me 5 years or so to forget the plot and I'll reread this and probably enjoy it a lot more. ...more
