A murder among the passengers

A snowbound Orient Express becomes a sealed setting for a traditional detective mystery. After millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett is found stabbed in his locked compartment, Hercule Poirot must investigate the passengers around him, each described as an enemy of the dead man. The train’s isolation narrows the inquiry to a dozen potential suspects, while the possibility of another attack gives Poirot’s investigation an immediate stake. The setup brings together a confined group, a puzzling locked-room death, and the methodical work of identifying a killer from among the people aboard.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of traditional detective mysteries and whodunits.
  • A fit for readers interested in Hercule Poirot mysteries.

Book overview

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
