Murder On The Orient Express; 

by Agatha Christie.

Another one from the writer that lends to a spectacular film - with the spectacular setting and the high profile story of a murder on the famous Orient Express from Istanbul to Paris, discovered while the snow has made the train stop, since a pass in the mountains in untraversable. There are a whole lot of charcters that could have done it - and the story unfolds to say what motive who had, as Monsieur Poirot happens to be at hand travelling on the train, willing and ready to conduct the investigation.

The classic film with a heavyli star studded cast including Ingrid Bergman and over half a dozen others, remains in memory. 

Recently, there has been another film version. It spoils the original flavour a tad, by being judgemental, and worse, by making Poirot so; and, too, it deviates from the book for spectacular effects.

"“Snow?” 

"“But yes, Monsieur. Monsieur has not noticed? The train has stopped. We have run into a snowdrift. Heaven knows how long we shall be here. I remember once being snowed up for seven days.” 

"“Where are we?” 

"“Between Vincovi and Brod.”"

But the recent film shows the train stopped not merely in a snowdrift, but in a steep mountainside bridge over a deep chasm.

This particular book, supposedly teaching guide, includes tantalizingly few chapters of the original work, and is intended to make you buy the original.
