    They have tried to translate everything when it is not necessary (and they have made quite a few mistakes). If you know English, it is better to read it in its original form or from another publishing house because the mistake they made does not allow you to find out who committed the crime.

    Finally, I found books that are enjoyable to read and, of course, to my liking. As a big fan of the TV series with the same name, I decided to get the book as a trial, and in the end, I couldn't put it down.
    Disgusted by the crudeness, arrogance, poor vocabulary, and confusing writing style that I encountered in many books I had tried to read, even by well-known, award-winning authors, I ended up here and I'm glad that the series has many books for me to read.
    Lastly, something that I liked compared to an older book I had read is that in the first 2-3 pages, it has all the basic names of the story, so every time you wonder who this person is again, you can refer back to the beginning and understand.

  • It keeps you in suspense. I read it in half a day! Very descriptive but not at all boring! The ending is unexpected!

    The refined style of Agatha Christie with the touches of humor and irony that we love so much has been translated very well by the translator. One of the best detective novels I have read, without violent scenes and gore, what we call a cozy mystery: people change clothes for dinner, travel with their service, and express themselves with "sir" and "madam". Of course, the intelligent, dandy, and not at all modest character of Poirot is at the center.

    I gave it as a gift to my brother and ended up reading it myself. One of the author's most popular books. It keeps your interest until the very last moment. Simply wonderful!!

Description & Specifications

“The murderer is here, with us… He is on the train right now…”

Shortly after midnight, the famous Orient Express is halted by a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere. In the morning, millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett is found stabbed in his bed. The door to his compartment is locked from the inside. His murderer is one of his fellow travelers...

Hercule Poirot, also trapped on the train, attempts to solve the mystery. Among the passengers are many people who had reasons to hate Ratchett. Who among them is the murderer? Is he planning to strike again?

A journey on the world’s most luxurious train turns into a gripping mystery – and one of Agatha Christie’s most popular works, read by millions and adapted repeatedly for film and television.

Read an excerpt

"Ah! Don't think such things. The poor and wronged governess is rather an exaggerated myth. I assure you that it is the parents who fear me." They did not speak further. Arbanthnot perhaps felt ashamed of his outburst. "This little comedy I am watching here is strange," Poirot muttered thoughtfully. This thought was destined to return to his mind later. They arrived in Konya that night around half past eleven. The two English travelers got off to stretch their legs and began pacing back and forth on the snowy platform. Poirot contented himself with observing the station's activity from behind the glass of a window. About ten minutes later, however, he decided that a breath of fresh air might not be such a bad idea after all. He prepared carefully, wrapping himself in several coats and scarves, while protecting his well-kept boots by wearing galoshes. Dressed like this, he carefully descended to the platform and began walking along it. He proceeded beyond the steam engine.
