Murder on the Orient-Express #1001426

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, published in 1934, is one of the most famous mystery novels of all time. On a freezing night, a train is stranded in the snow somewhere in the Balkans. On board, the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is on his way back to London when a passenger is found stabbed to death in his compartment, the door locked from the inside. No one could have entered or left. Yet the murderer is still there, trapped along with everyone else, in the middle of the snow, with no way out. Twelve passengers. Twelve seemingly perfect alibis. And a secret buried years earlier that resurfaces with the force of a knife. Poirot will have to use all his legendary intelligence to uncover the truth in one of the most ingenious plots ever written—a mystery that redefined the rules of the classic detective novel and that, even today, surprises those who think they’ve figured it all out. A masterpiece of suspense, psychology, and justice, where the final solution calls into question everything we thought we knew about good and evil.
