Murder on the Orient Express

A luxury train trapped in snow. A passenger stabbed in his compartment. Thirteen suspects—and every one of them had a motive.

In Agatha Christie’s most famous and beloved mystery, Hercule Poirot boards the luxurious Orient Express for a journey from Istanbul to London. Overnight, the train is halted by a massive snowdrift in Yugoslavia. In the morning, an American millionaire named Ratchett is discovered dead—stabbed twelve times in his locked compartment. With the snow blocking all escape, the killer must still be aboard.

As Poirot begins his investigation, he discovers that almost every passenger has a connection to the victim and a compelling reason for wanting him dead. From the refined Swedish missionary to the haughty Russian princess, the Italian chauffeur to the English governess, each traveler harbors secrets. With time running out and the police approaching, Poirot must sift through alibis, clues, and red herrings to solve what many consider the ultimate golden-age puzzle.

A masterpiece of plotting, atmosphere, and misdirection, Murder on the Orient Express delivers one of Christie’s most shocking and satisfying solutions—a dazzling display of her genius that has captivated readers for generations.
