Just after midnight, a snowdrift stopped the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train was surprisingly full for the time of year. But by the morning there was one passenger fewer. An American lay dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. With tension mounting, detective Hercule Poirot comes up with not one, but two solutions to the crime. Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 80 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots.

Olvasói vélemények összefoglalója

Readers overwhelmingly praise Murder on the Orient Express as an absorbing, cleverly constructed mystery with a richly atmospheric setting. Many found it tense, twisty, and difficult to put down, while Hercule Poirot’s methodical intelligence and attention to detail were especially admired.

The short chapters and steadily unfolding investigation kept readers engaged, though some found the detailed reasoning or large cast slightly confusing at first. A few readers felt the pacing could be slow, and one found the book less appealing after encountering an adaptation, but these reservations were uncommon. Overall, it is strongly recommended for readers who enjoy classic detective fiction, intricate puzzles, psychological tension, and carefully developed mysteries.
