Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
4.0
This is one of Ms. Christie's most famous works, the other being "And Then There Were None". I've been wanting to read this one for so long., and I saw it available at the library. I think I already knew the solution before I started, or started to suspect it as I read, but the book was still enjoyable.
One thing I really like about these books is how the reader gets to know all the characters through Poirot's questioning and observations. I love psychology and human behavior, so this sort of police work is right up my alley. Reading Poirot puzzle this one out was so interesting to me. I wanted to find out his next insight or hear from the next witness.
I also like how it's never gory. The focus is on the people, their behavior, Poirot's reactions to them, and the ultimate solution. If anything is sensationalized, it's behavior or characters' connections. And I like that Poirot doesn't care about the money as long as the case interests him.
There's not much more I can say. Agatha Christie is the queen of crime for a reason. I'll always be happy to read one of her books.
