I enjoyed the inquisitive, diligent, and mild-mannered nature of Detective Hercule Poirot as he interviews passengers to solve the murder mystery on the train.

I'll say it again - wonderful, wonderful work!

I really liked it but not as much as And Then They Were None. There were so many characters that I was a little bit confuse and it was hard to distinguish one from another. I liked how the events were told, it wasn't like anything I read before. It reminded me of the movie Clue.
