Murder on the Orient Express
Book 10 of the Hercule Poirot series
A snowdrift stops the Orient Express, leaving Poirot trapped aboard with a murdered passenger and a carriage full of international travelers. The victim's hidden identity connects the case to an infamous kidnapping, giving several passengers plausible motives. Contradictory clues suggest that the crime cannot fit an ordinary solution. Wintry and iconic, this classic is ideal for fireside reading about luxury travel, collective secrets, moral ambiguity, and a detective forced to decide whether justice and law always require the same answer.
