What Members Thought

This is only the second Christie i have ever read.
I must say this was an interesting ploy with good characterization, and the famous Hercule Poirot.
When these books were written there was not much fluff in them and they moved along quite quickly, here we have the same.
A good solid mystery with an interesting conclusion.

This is the first book of the author I rad, and I found it very interesting. I like the method of investigation by Hercule Poirot and the way he interrogate the people on the train. The final chapter where he proposes two solutions and the choice of the first solution on a moral basis is really appealing. I am interested to read more works by this author.
