Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
Volume 19 in the Agatha Christie Collection (1934) Limited edition of 1,000 copies worldwide 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.“Need it be said – the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insolubleMrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.”
