Description

THE MOST WIDELY READ MYSTERY OF ALL TIME—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY KENNETH BRANAGH AND PRODUCED BY RIDLEY SCOTT!

“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. Without a shred of doubt, one of his fellow passengers is 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.

“What more . . . can a mystery addict desire?”—New York Times

    I liked the number of suspects (13), and learning how they all played their role in the murder. Justice was served, but also revenge was served. Should revenge be served? Thanks

    I am making my way through Dame Agatha’s books and had been waiting for the perfect time to read this particular book. Having never seen any of the adaptations, I was going in blind to the story. It’s so brilliant in its telling and while the construction is a bit tedious at first, it is so worth it in the pay off.

    Oh, what a travesty Kenneth Branagh wreaked on this book when he made the movie.... Poirot would not have resorted to fistucuffs. Anyway, please take the movie tie-in cover off, remove the "bonus" photos, and just give me back the edition I bought. I want to read the book the way Dame Agatha intended it to be read.

  • Absolutely Fantastic!

    So I want this book in real life, now I was reading the sample, and first of all the author of this book must have done so much to make a stunning book! It leaves me on the edge of my seat! Second of all, if it is such a good book, that there is a movie filled with award winning actors, this book has GOT to be great! And finally I would totally recommend this book, and I hope to see th movie!

  • Hope the movie is better

    This was decent. Very short. Not a lot of suspense because clues were collected quickly and all deductions made seemed to be accurate with one guess. The movie will probably have a lot of extras added in to draw it out and spice it up I bet.
