I hardly need to re-invent the wheel thinking of some clever comment that hasn't been made before on any of Ms. Christie's works. I'll only say this, it's a phenomenal read, and if you were looking for a sign to start reading Agatha…

Just the best. I had seen the movie previously so I knew how it ended but it still was impossible to put down.

The gold standard for murder mysteries.

Instead of feeling like a mystery with a clever detective piecing together clues, this felt, to me, more like a detective being lucky with his guesses. At no point was I dazzled by Poirot, and I was disappointed in how basic all these…

This was a book of the month selection for my mystery book club. I struggled to finish this book but did so for the spirit of book club. I found the murder to be implausible and hard to imagine. I leave this for the die hard AC fans and…

A classic for a reason. Some dated language for sure. Otherwise, a very original mystery and try to read it before someone spoils all the twists for you!

This is another book that Augusta Christie has spectacularly written. There is a murder on a train, and conveniently a well-renowned detective is also on the train. This murder is different from all the other murder's he has encountered,…

This is the first Agatha Christie I have read. I found it interesting, easy to read and very concise. It was interesting to discover how Hercule Poirot thinks and proceeds to determine the guilty party. I will read a couple more of her…

This is the 8th Hercule Poirot full length novel that was first published in 1934. It's my favourite Poirot mystery. It's also one of the most well know Poirot titles, spawning four movies - two major film releases (1974 and 2017) and…

Finding a fiction book I’ve had a personal connection with was kind of a struggle, but I still enjoyed rereading this book. Reading a mystery novel felt meta because as I was trying to follow the clues and piece together the murderer, the…

I had never read a full-fledged murder mystery book, so I wasn't sure what to expect from "Murder on the Orient Express". I was pleasantly surprised by how intriguing it was to follow Detective Poirot's investigation. As he interviewed the…
