Synopsis:

Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Without a shred of doubt, one of his fellow passengers is the murderer.
Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again.

So unfortunately I had to DNF this book 10 pages into it. I felt that the language in this book was something I could not get into no matter what I tried, but I’m still intrigued by the story. Will definitely go see the movie!
