Synopsis
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Simon Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer.
Isolated by the storm and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer amongst a dozen of the dead man’s enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again
My Take
Who killed Simon? How did (s)he do it? Any witnesses? These are some of the questions that ran through my mind while I was reading this book. My second Agatha Christie and I.Loved.It.
Murder on The Orient Express flows beautifully and Agatha’s writing is just phenomenal! An intricate story woven in only 274 pages, with plot twists that put me on age all through and the ending just blew my mind.
Hercule Poirot’s way of perception intrigued me and I am actually proud of myself for getting some clues right. The story makes you question everything and 10/10 I highly recommend.

🙂 This is one of my favourites!
Mine as well!
I have read the book long ago but forgotten about it. I need to read it again
I bet it’ll be even better the second time
I have read this book as well, it was simply amazing! I didn’t see the conclusion coming at all. I love Agatha Christie and her writing style, plus Poirot is a very intriguing character.
I am in awe of Agatha! I want to read at least 4 more of her books this year
I would highly recommend Death On The Nile and Then There Were None, I enjoyed both of those a lot!
I’ve already read And Then There Were None… I’ll look for Death on the Nile thanks
