One of my favorite of the Poirot novels, but I suppose that's the coldest take I could ever say. It was also the first one I read, and I hold it close to my heart. A riveting mystery with wonderful characters and a great voice throughout it all!

A product of its time for sure, but still a good mystery, even if you know how it ends!

This is probably one of the most well known Agatha Christie books so I'm glad I finally read it.


The premise and mystery were interesting, I really liked that everything was contained to the train, it made for a unique setting. I really liked the ending and the chapter where everything was revealed piece by piece. My only problem was there were just SO MANY characters that it was hard to keep track of everyone, especially when things were revealed towards the end.
