I'm so thankful I found this book. It captured me from the first page and kept me on the edge of my seat, something that is hard to do with my wandering mind. Maybe it was just me, but it was difficult to suss out who was lying or being truthful, but it was fun to draw my own conclusions and see if I was right about who done it! The ending through me for a loop and I lost my mind! I recommend this book 100%! You won't regret reading it. Queen of the Genre This novel is only the second Agatha Christie mystery I have read. It is hardly a wonder that her books sell so well because they are relatively short and intricately laid out. Certainly a page turner. Fourteen people plus a train conductor occupy a sleeper car on the Orient Express traveling from Istanbul to Paris that gets stuck in the snow in Yugoslavia. One of them is murdered and one of them happens to be famed detective Hercule Poirot. There are also the director of the train line and a physician lodged in a different car, who are foils for Poirot's ruminations. Those are the ingredients of this perfect "locked room" murder mystery. My only criticism is the long soliloquies that tell rather than show. I found my attention wandering during them.
The book is filled with entertaining and descriptive events that will leave readers anticipating more. Estambul, pleno invierno. Poirot decide tomar el Orient Express que en esta época suele hacer su recorrido prácticamente vacío. Pero aquel día, el tren va lleno y sólo gracias a una buena amiga consigue una litera en el coche-cama. A la mañana siguiente se despierta, descubre que una tormenta de nieve ha obligado a detener el tren y que un americano, llamado Ratcher, ha sido apuñalado salvajemente. Aparentemente nadie ha entrado ni ha salido del coche-cama. El asesino, sin duda, es alguno de los ocupantes entre los que se encuentra una altiva princesa rusa y una institutriz inglesa.

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.
