What to expect

One of the very best Christie mysteries read by Hercule Poirot himself, David Suchet.

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stopped the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train was surprisingly full for the time of the year. But by the morning there was one passenger fewer. An American lay dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.

With tension mounting, detective Hercule Poirot comes up with not one, but two solutions to the crime.

Critics 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
