Like all great murder mysteries,murder on the orient express keeps us guessing until the final pages. Look for clues as you read, but be prepared for more than a few surprises.

My Thoughts

This genre is not something i am particularly fond of,  given the manner, gory details of the killings are explained in such books . But Agatha Christie's approach to a murder thriller devoid of discomfort and unpleasantness that comes with it was very impressive and readable. Hooked and engrossing till the very end of the book. The final verdict was unexpected, touching and beautiful. Well there is a reason why Agatha Christie is also called "Queen of Crimes".

Would I Reread it?..

Its quite safe to read it again, and i would most likely because such complicated plot needs rereading again as there are lots of things going on at the same time and it will sort of sink in only on repeated reads.

Would i Recommend it?..

Truly, completely, Especially for People who have not tried this genre yet, because once you get a taste of it,you will find yourself yearning for more.
