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

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A brilliantly ingenious story.” (Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK))

“It’s tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world’s had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special.” (Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author)

“[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion.” (Chicago Daily Tribune)

“Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business.” (New York Herald Tribune)

“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 (London))

“What more…can a mystery addict desire?” (New York Times)

“Agatha Christie’s books are both wonderful crime novels and studies in contrast and duality, and I adore them still. Underestimate them at your peril.” (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Gamache novels)

“Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.” (Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of the Dublin Murder Squad novels)

“Agatha Christie taught me many important lessons about the inner workings of the mystery novel before it ever occurred to me that I might one day be writing mysteries myself.” (Sue Grafton, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Kinsey Millhone novels)

“Any mystery writer who wants to learn how to plot should spend a few days reading Agatha Christie. She’ll show you everything you want to know.” (Donna Leon, New York Times-bestselling author of the Commissario Brunetti novels)

“I always wanted to be Agatha Christie when I grew up. I still do.” (J. A. Jance, New York Times-bestselling author of the Joanna Brady and J. P. Beaumont novels)

“Agatha Christie’s indelibly etched characters have entertained millions across the years and a love of her work has brough together generations of readers—a singular achievement for any author and an inspiration to writers across the literary landscape.” (Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times-bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs novels) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From AudioFile

A Russian princess, a Hungarian count, a Swedish beauty, and an assortment of Americans, English and French are brought together on the elegant Orient Express. A brutal murder and an unexpected blizzard bring in the vacationing Hercule Poirot. The results are excellent. This BBC Radio dramatization is as thought-provoking as the original. The vocal characterizations, as diverse as the characters themselves, are appropriately dramatic. Actor John Moffatt is a forceful Poirot and leads the ensemble with style. With its attention to dialects, incidental music and pace, this is the perfect audio presentation for a road trip or a cozy day by a warm fire. M.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.

Entertaining, classic mystery kept me guessing
5 stars for Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.Detective Hercule Poirot resolves a case in Syria and must forego his planned few days of relaxation after being urgently called back to London regarding a new development in a separate case. He is able to obtain last-minute accommodations on the Orient Express train with the help of a rail company executive and friend, but they are forced to stop unexpectedly in the countryside of Yugoslavia during a blizzard and must wait days for snow to be cleared from the tracks.During the night, a passenger is murdered in their sleeping car! The door is locked from the inside. The window is open, but there are no footprints in the snow. The murderer must be one of the other passengers, but who?! And why?Murder on the Orient Express has a wide range of interesting suspects and the always clever (and he knows it) French Detective Poirot. The rail company executive Bauc and Dr. Constantine try to help Poirot determine who the murderer is, but of course every new piece of information changes their suspicions and adds to the complexity of the case.This classic mystery is a very entertaining story with a satisfying ending, and it truly kept me guessing until nearly the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars This specific edition is very poorly edited
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

Though the book itself is an absolute classic and should be savoured, it is difficult to enjoy this specific edition - the editing is so poor i almost feel the publisher took a version from another language, then ran it through Google Translate!
There are missing words, scrunched together paragraphs, pronouns are all messed up, and the dialogue is marked only with a dash, making it very difficult to determine when someone stops speaking.

This is a great book, but I believe when it was translated, they didn't do a very good job. The people change from male to female in the same sentence, and you really have to pay attention to figure out what they are talking about.

This is a genius plot from a genius writer. Agatha Christie is, for me, the queen of the golden age of British crime stories. However, this edition is amazingly full of typos, mainly in the French sentences, but in the English text also. It's not the first time I read this book, and I'm pretty sure that Dame Agatha did know how to write correctly in both languages. Unbelievable that editors should be so neglectful.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first Agatha Christie and I loved it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2024

My first Agatha Christie and I loved it.

I picked this up because I wanted something short, sharp, absorbing, and plotty, but also not too dark, and I would say this fitted the bill perfectly.

I have also always had a thing about sleeper trains,I I find the idea of them really romantic. However, my personal circumstances mean I am very unlikely to find myself on one, so I have to live vicariously through others.

Having said that, I am glad I wasn't on this particular journey because being stuck in a snow drift would be the least of my worries.
