In the Calais Coach


Murder On The Orient Express by Agatha Christie 
reviewed by Lintaro 

This book is one of Agatha Christie's famous Poirot novels, and deals with the main character, Hercule Poirot, trying to solve a murder on board a train that is stranded in the middle of nowhere during a week-long snow storm. The book has everything you could ask for: a riveting plot, a surprising twist at the end, and most importantly many details. Murder On The Orient Express is really one of the best books in the Poirot series with a mix of action, surprise, and suspense that I believe anybody could read and love.

Librarian's notes:
The official site for the book (with map).
The 1994 movie based on the book had an absolutely all-star cast including Albert Finney. Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, and so on. Read the book and then see the movie.
