Sinossi
L'Orient Express, il leggendario treno delle spie e degli avventurieri internazionali, occupa un posto importante nell'immaginario degli appassionati di letteratura. Il merito è di questo libro. In quella che probabilmente è la più celebre delle sue imprese, Hercule Poirot, salito a bordo di un vagone di prima classe partito da Istanbul e diretto a Calais, è costretto a occuparsi di un efferato delitto: mentre il treno è bloccato dalla neve sui Balcani, qualcuno tra i passeggeri pugnala a morte il signor Ratchett, un ricco quanto insopportabile cittadino americano. L'assassino deve per forza nascondersi tra i viaggiatori, ma nessuno di loro sembra avere un movente. Almeno in apparenza... Pubblicato nel 1934, "Assassinio sull'Orient Express" è da molti considerato il capolavoro di Agatha Christie, ed è sicuramente uno dei gialli più noti e letti in tutto il mondo.

I’m also not sure why it took me so long to write this review (two months, to be exact, so actually n Leggi tutto

The fact that I actually took the time to edit my face into that picture should tell you something about a) my Poirot love, and b) th Leggi tutto
This was my first Agatha Christie novel and it definitely did not disappoint! I was not expecting that ending, which is obviously a good thing in a murder mystery story, but I am proud of myself for picking up on some other clues. I am so impressed by how she was able to weave this intricate of a st Leggi tutto
5 stars to Agatha Christie 's Murder on the Orient Express . I chose to read this Christie spectacular after finishing "And There Were None." She's such a treasure - never disappoints. A train. A murder. Multiple suspects. Nearly an alibi for everyone. But wait, there's a motive for everyone. How did t Leggi tutto

If you're on a train (or boat, or island), planning to commit a nice, unsolvable murder, and you find out Hercule Poirot is one of the guests . . . Just change your plans. That is all. I'd like to know if anyone has ever solved this particular murder mystery. It's mind-boggling, and deservedly one of Leggi tutto
