"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.
“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.
