Too lengthy. Felt a bit dragging to read the detective enquiring every member on the Orient express.

Masterful as only Agatha Christie could be...

Excellent to experience as an audiobook narrated by Kenneth Branagh...

 Agatha Christie's novels are always enjoyable to read. The plethora and variety of characters bring each setting to life and really make you question whether your guesses about the mystery are actually correct. A classic, for sure.

loved this book, it is everything it is hyped to be. It is the true classic and one of the best murder mysteries ever. If you are not familiar with the story then you will love this. Just bear in mind when you read it that some of this feels clichéd, but it feels that way because it created these clichés. Poirot is still a hard character to say you truly like, I mean you do like him, he is clever and charismatic, but there is so little development to his character, so yes you like the character but you don't really know him.
