Reviews"A brilliantly ingenious story." -- Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK) "It's tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world's had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special." -- Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author "[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion." -- Chicago Daily Tribune "Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business." -- New York Herald Tribune "Need it be said--the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end." -- Times Literary Supplement (London) "What more...can a mystery addict desire?" -- New York Times "Agatha Christie's books are both wonderful crime novels and studies in contrast and duality, and I adore them still. Underestimate them at your peril." -- Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Gamache novels "Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction." -- Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of the Dublin Murder Squad novels "Agatha Christie taught me many important lessons about the inner workings of the mystery novel before it ever occurred to me that I might one day be writing mysteries myself." -- Sue Grafton, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Kinsey Millhone novels "Any mystery writer who wants to learn how to plot should spend a few days reading Agatha Christie. She'll show you everything you want to know." -- Donna Leon, New York Times-bestselling author of the Commissario Brunetti novels "I always wanted to be Agatha Christie when I grew up. I still do." -- J. A. Jance, New York Times-bestselling author of the Joanna Brady and J. P. Beaumont novels "Agatha Christie's indelibly etched characters have entertained millions across the years and a love of her work has brough together generations of readers--a singular achievement for any author and an inspiration to writers across the literary landscape." -- Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times-bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs novels

SynopsisBelgian detective Hercule Poirot is trapped on a train with a killer in his most famous mystery from Agatha Christie. Now with a beautiful new series look. "The murderer is with us--on the train now . . ." 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.
