Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
4.0

Despite Murder on the Orient Express being over seventy-five years old, this locked room mystery was intriguing and timeless, and the solution was as logical as it was surprising. For mystery readers that like to guess whodunit,
Spoilerthis is one rare case where almost any guess is partially correct, as almost every character in the book had a hand in the murder, literally
.

This was my first exposure to Hercule Poirot and my second to Agatha Christie, my first being The Murder in the Vicarage, a Miss Marple mystery. On that small sample size, I think I prefer Poirot to Marple.
