The famous Orient Express train to Europe is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett is murdered and stabbed a dozen times. Isolated by the storm without any trails on the fresh snow, the murderer is undoubtedly a fellow passenger. Can Detective Hercule Poirot identify the killer before they strike again?

When I think of Agatha Christie, I'm reminded of some of my happiest childhood memories reading cleverly crafted whodunits that absolutely blow my mind. Rereading EXPRESS after so many years, I'm still so impressed by how Christie comes up with the most original locked room mysteries.

Even better is the gorgeous full-color illustrations by Al-Greene that bring the characters to life. And I can finally put a face to Poirot! This version matches my imagination/memory waaay better than Daniel Craig's rendition
