Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

4.0

A snowdrift stops the Orient Express on it track. In luxurious train which was surprisingly full, there is a murderer and a detective. The murderer is among the passengers or crews and the Hercule Poirot must solve the crime before he hit again.
Agatha Christie is a writer who doesn’t need any introduction. Hailed as the queen of mystery, she penned many thrillers which I relished a lot. The Murder on the Orient Express is a masterpiece. A murder in carriage and the event that unfolds is the main plot. Hercule Poirot, who happens to be inside the train, interviews each and every one to find the culprit. The thought process of detective and drawing of conclusion is excellent. The most consequential thing is that Ms. Christie prospered in writing a thriller that was capricious. Her experience and competency coalesced in this book. As always the author put as in dark and surprises at the ending. Her ability to derive such endings is impeccable.
Murder on the orient Express is a thriller that not only thrills you but also surprises you. The book is an example of Agatha Christie undisputed ability to nurture a thriller. So this book is a must read for all bibliophiles out there.
N.B. The movies are not worth, so read the book.
