Let me put this first, I grew up watching David Suchet playing Hercule Poirot on the television, and to me, he will always be him.  The art work in this graphic novel version of one of Agatha Christie's best mysteries remind me of his interpretation of the Belgian detective. Except for the handlebar moustache. 

I loved all of the details included in the novel, from the signatures, the pictures, maps of the train cars, the evidence for the murder, the clothing, and the train itself. I got to see the Orient Express train or at least the modern version, when I was in Europe in my twenties. I loved this mystery and watching/reading how Hercule solves a mystery is always impressive.

4.5 out of 5 stars, highly recommend for mystery lovers.

I love this depiction of one of my favorite Agatha Christie novels! All the characters are beautifully rendered and really embody their characteristics. This makes me want to reread the original novel.
