Getting caught up so reviews will be short and sweet.
This was the second Hercule Poirot book I read this year and this one was so much better. The twists had me going and I very much enjoyed the characters.
I will be reading in a Miss Marple read-a-long the first part of this year, so M. Poirot will have to wait for my return.

I had read this before but forgot what a brilliant little mystery this was. Poirot uses his "little gray cells" to tie all the pieces up neatly by the end of the book.

I started this book when I was very young and never finished it. But this time around I enjoyed it a little more and was able to finish it. It is a stereotypical mystery novel with an interesting ending.
I missed my boy Hastings but I really like trains

Good ol' Christie. Always fun to read, even if I find Hercule Poirot a bit insufferable (he's so arrogant - why couldn't Miss Marple be on this train)? It's a closed-room plot, as all the action takes places on the Orient Express. Someone on the train is the murderer - but who?
It's a bit more convoluted than other Christie mysteries, but I love it.

One of my all-time favorite stories. It's the classic locked-room mystery. And yes, the ending may be a little less than satisfactory by 2012 standards, but in light of 1920's sensibilities and the obvious connection to the Lindburgh case, it is a marvelous read! To me, it proves why she is so revered in the mystery genre.
