Murder On The Orient Express
(Agatha Christie)
This is a complicated book full of mystery. Each of the seventeen suspects has a connection, whether it is direct or indirect, to the victim who is classically and viciously stabbed to death. I always loved British mysteries. There is much more of a heightened sense of suspense and drama, yet it is always plausible. One can imagine. What is so great about Agatha Christie is how she holds one's attention. There are so many possibilities because of how she develops the plot.
The exotic situation and background of each of the suspects only adds to the intrigue. This is an old story but a good story. Agatha Christie knows how to tell a story the way V.C. Andrews did. This is why her stories are classic and still sell. Many of her books have been made into movies. She is fast-moving but emphasizes dialogue and plot development. As is typical of British novels, it is written in a limited omniscient view without much emphasis on individual stream of consciousness and emotion at the height of the moment. I strongly recommend this book.
