danadoesbooks 's review for:

Murder on the Orient Express: The Graphic Novel by Agatha Christie, Bob Al-Greene
mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Thank you William Morrow and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of Murder on the Orient Express: The Graphic Novel!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I have previously listened to the audiobook of Murder on the Orient Express so I was familiar with the premise but couldn't remember details about the mystery.  

The graphic novel format really lended itself to one of Christie's famous mysteries.  When it is a closed door mystery and there are a lot of characters introduced at once, it can be hard to tell them apart later.  Because it was a graphic novel, you have the pictures to help differentiate between the characters.  I also like how the evidence was visually shown, especially when they were reviewing the case towards the end.

Overall, the graphic novel was a great way to read Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and I can't wait to read more of her novels in this format!
