Hercule Poirot is going back home to London on The Orient Express. While on the train, an American businessman, Mr.Ratchett is murdered, and the circumstances are such that almost every solution posed by Poirot or his companions are impossible.
This book also includes many things that make it even more interesting. For, instance, most of the book takes part on a train, and you can see how trains were a long time ago. Also, the suspects are from many different countries, and rise from many different backgrounds. In most mystery stories, one can guess what the solution is fairly early, but this is such that you can only figure it out at the end, after all the evidence is given, and Poirot sits down to "Think". This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in mysteries.
I rate this 9 out of 10
