Murder on the Orient Express
Originally published in January 1934, ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ by Agatha Christie, an English writer known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, especially those revolving around fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.
Just after midnight, the renowned Orient Express is prevented in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Without a shred of suspicion, one of his fellow passengers is the murderer.
Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's rivals, before the murderer decides to strike again.

About the Author
Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.
