Murder on the Orient Express

Agatha Christie has been outsold only by Shakespeare and The Bible. Yes, this book is amazing. Her writing style is original and crisp. She writes in a way that the reader can NEVER figure out who the suspect is.

The story's setting brings intrigue. The cast of characters are plentifully supplied so that uncovering the mystery will not be easy to do. But it's not just the large number of characters that create challenge, it's the stories they give to Hercules, the detective, that confound.

The characters are all woven uniquely and they continue to draws us further into the complexity of the case as we move throughout the plot.

Brilliant. Worthy. Surprising.
