“The murderer is with us – on the train now…”
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward 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, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man’s enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again….
Thoughts
This is a whodunnit at it’s best. Poirot is my favorite detective, and Christie always does a great job with his character. He always makes me think one person is guilty, then makes me change my mind usually more than once, and then says who the killer is and it shocks me every time.
There were more characters than I normally like in a book, but the descriptions of them are so vivid that I had no problem keeping them straight.
There were so many clues, so much happening, and so many ways the story could have gone, but in the end it was one of the best endings I’ve ever read in a book.
The book was narrated by Dan Stevens who did a great job with all the voices.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all lovers of this genre of book.

Great story and movie. One of my wife’s favorite authors of all time.
One of my favorite authors too!
Everyone but me loves this book. :/
Hmmm, I’m wondering why you don’t love it too!
I’d love to hear Dan Stevens narrate this book!
I’m pretty sure this was the first book I’ve listened to that he narrated.
He was pretty awesome.
A classic! It’s going on the list for 2018 for sure!
I used to read Christie a lot, but somehow missed this one. I’m glad I read it and now want to read some of the others I missed.
This may be a good one for the mystery theme in the Girlxoxo challenge, I can wait until then to get it.
Ooh, Dan Stevens is narrator. I’d listen to that!
Stevens did a great job narrating it!
I haven’t read that book, I think I should. Thank you for reminding me.
I really enjoyed it and am glad I got the audio. The narrator did a great job.
