A curious group of passengers is assembled on the Istanbul–Calais coach of the Simplon Orient Express. They include a Russian princess, an Italian salesman, an English colonel … and Hercule Poirot. The morning after the train is stopped dead by a deep snowdrift, American millionaire Mr Ratchett is found stabbed to death, his compartment bolted on the inside. It is clear that the murderer must be one of his fellow passengers and must therefore still be on the train. One of Christie’s most famous novels, Murder on the Orient Express boasts a truly audacious solution and has kept readers rapt since it was first published in 1934. This edition is published in series with our other Poirot mysteries and features a blocked binding and arresting illustrations by Andrew Davidson.

ABOUT AGATHA CHRISTIE
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and is the author of over 80 works, including detective novels and short stories, 19 plays and six novels published under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 and introduced the world to Hercule Poirot, who would become one of the most popular fictional detectives since Sherlock Holmes (as would another of Christie's sleuths, the amateur detective Miss Marple). In 1952 her play The Mousetrap premiered in London's West End and has run continuously ever since. Christie's books have sold more than two billion copies in over 100 languages (said to be outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare) and have been adapted many times for film and television. She was made a dame in 1971 and died in Oxfordshire in 1976. In 2013, she was voted the greatest crime writer of all time by the Crime Writers' Association.
