Book review: Murder on the Orient Express

 

What is better than a cup of hot cocoa, a nice comfy blanket and a book full of mystery and thrill?

If we are on the same "train" than this book is perfect for you. The great belgian detective Hercule poirot ascends the orient express that is destined to reach London from Istanbul. However the train comes to a halt on the way due to a colossal snow drift. The night when the train comes to a halt, a ruthless murder is commited in one of the compartments. Mr.Ratchett stabbed mercilessly, at night now lies dead. The snow must have prevented anyone leaving the ride during the night. And that means the murderer is among them in the train.....

13 passengers...all suspects...under one roof .....the case has to be solved before the killer strikes again...

The book is marked with a stupefying plot twist that makes the reader jump at the very moment it is revealed. I myself finished the book in a single day. It might be the same case for you too!!!

"All around us are people, of all classes, of all nationalities, of all ages. For three days these people, these strangers to one another, are brought together. They sleep and eat under one roof, they cannot get away from each other. At the end of three days they part, they go their several ways, never, perhaps, to see each other again."
