After reading what appeared to be a homage to Murder on the Orient Express last month, I had to read the story that inspired it. However, there is absolutely no comparison between the two stories. Agatha Christie is very concise and doesn’t waste time on unnecessary words or details yet she is able to create incredibly real places and people. This story has to be one of the best closed environment stories ever told. Strongly recommended.

The mystery in this book was clever and well plotted. However, this was my first time reading a Hercule Poirot book, and I found him kind of grating. He speaks in riddles and vague statements. As a literary device, this behavior is likely supposed to draw out the suspense, but it also makes him seem pompous. I'd give this series another try, but I liked my previous Agatha Christie read (And Then There Were None) much better.

I listened to an audiobook version. I think I would have enjoyed or paid attention better to a print version. The part where Poirot and Bouc questioned the passengers was interesting, but I got bored after that.

Ufff Hercules Poirot y una de sus mejores novelas.
Transcurre en un viaje en tren, donde este es detenido por una tormenta de nieve y deberá resolver el asesino de un viejo que iba a bordo, donde todo pareciera indicar que el asesino es uno de ellos.
La resolución del final es una de mis favoritas, y la adaptación de Sidney Lummet a la pantalla también la recomiendo mucho.
