Murder on the orient express is an alright Murder mystery. It's got the classic 'closed quarters so everyone is a suspect', very interesting and diverse characters and an amazing twist.
That said, I don't necessarily care for our lead detective, Hercule Poirot, and basing so much of his perceptions on what he perceives to be a subjects psyche leads him and his companions to make really biased assumptions (and sometimes racist/sexist ones at that). It's also such a shame that there's not more leads to the role of each suspect which makes it impossible as a reader to get the twist.
