The Case of the Body on the Orient Express is a mystery novel about a murder on the Orient Express. It seems to me that this book is intentioned to be the "true story" that inspired Agatha Christie to write Murder on the Orient Express. I thought it was an interesting touch to include popular writers Agatha Christie and George Orwell as characters (there may be more but I only recognized their names). The writing style is a little abrupt and there aren't good transitions between POVs. Besides that, the story is very interesting and was a fun read. 3.75/5 stars.
