challenging mysterious medium-paced
 I'm struggling to understand the hype and why Christie is the goat of murder mysteries.
Definitely faster paced than Death on the Nile, which I appreciate.
There were too many characters/suspects (13 to be exact), which made the plot a bit confusing and hard to follow. They didn't have any distinguishing qualities or personalities, so they all fell flat. 
Not to mention the ending........ sigh. 
Overall this book gave me whiplash and I felt like I was going in circles. Underwhelming, anticlimactic, and disappointed.

My first Agatha Christie. Fun to read, but
wildly improbable ending.

Such an enjoyable way to read Murder on the Orient Express. Fantastic illustration and pacing made for a great caper that was dense but easy to follow along.
