Description

‘The Murderer is with us – on the train now…’

It’s just after midnight, and the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift, isolated by the storm. A passenger lies dead, stabbed
a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.

The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot, must identify the prime suspects from among the small but disparate group of remaining passengers- before the murderer decides to strike again.

Publisher Review

"Need it be said - the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end." Times Literary Supplement "A brilliantly ingenious story." Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald "Ingenuity at its height ... the idea is utterly novel, the setting a model of realism, and the characters a versatile, attractive crew." Woman's Journal "A piece of classic workmanship .. exquisite and wholly satisfying." News Chronicle
