Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha ChristieMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"I have been very fortunate in my profession. I have made enough money to satisfy both my needs and my caprices." Hercule Poirot
First I came across Steve Hayes' fun review of the 1974 movie 'Murder on the Orient Express'(https://youtu.be/segmFF7WQrc). The film is every bit as fun as his review; all 1940s glamour and fluff. Still glowing from the movie I started reading Agatha Christie's book.
The book is very good, of course, but not quite as much fun as the 1974 film(I haven't seen the 2017 film version yet). However, I've learned I'm no great fan of mystery novels. I enjoy the movies and TV shows made from them but the reading not as much. I did read 'And Then There Were None' and liked it a little bit better.
But Agatha Christie fans will love this. It's Hercule Poirot in all of his fastidious glory.
