Agatha Christie Murder in the Orient Express review en recensie
- “Need it be said – the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.” (Times Literary Supplement)
- “Ingenuity at its height … the idea is utterly novel, the setting a model of realism, and the characters a versatile, attractive crew.” (Woman’s Journal)
- “In Christie’s hands, this plot line turns into something far more accomplished than a mystery story. The array of motives and backstories that she must now fit together to explain what happened may be more complex than the crime at Poirot’s neck, but Christie makes no concession to her reader.” (Sughnen Yongo, Forbes)

Flaptekst van de Hercule Poirot detective van Agatha Christie
The Murderer is with us – on the train now…
It’s just after midnight, and the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift, isolated by the storm. A passenger lies dead, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.
The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot, must identify the prime suspects from among the small but disparate group of remaining passengers– before the murderer decides to strike again.
