Agatha Christie's most famous suspense novel. As if fate was entangled, the "Twelve Heroes" who were closely related to the victim of the famous murder that happened many years ago gathered on the Orient Express at the same time to launch the final judgment against the heinous enemy. Blizzard road closure created a typical secret room, and clues from the crime scene pointed to everyone present. When we follow the detective down to the next level, we find that everyone is guilty - it seems that everyone is innocent, and then there are twists and turns, and indeed everyone is the murderer. However, the murderer in the legal sense is a good person in the emotional sense. The ending arranged by Grandma should satisfy most readers.
It's so awesome, it's truly a classic. Agatha is the queen of logic "No One Survived": Everyone is guilty, but the murderer is innocent "Murder on the Orient Express": The victim committed a bloody crime and everyone is the murderer
It's so perfect. At first glance, everyone is innocent, but upon closer inspection, we find that there are small flaws. The husband who loves his wife deeply, the mother who avenges her daughter, the loyal servant; the twelve passengers, the twelve wounds, the jury of twelve people, every detail cannot be missed; the fabricated woman in scarlet pajamas does appear. The uniformed conductor, the interweaving of light and dark, is very exciting. If it were not for the heavy snowfall, this would be a perfect crime. If Poirot did not solve the case, then the perhaps righteous jury composed of these twelve people did complete the vision of seeing Ratchett's death with his own eyes, allowing the Armstrong family to rest in peace.
Oh my God, it was really shocking. Every point was perfect. It even moved me very much. Regarding the background story of the whole incident, I cried at the end. Everyone did a great job. The ending is also very good. If I have to say it, the death of the deceased is not tragic enough. When justice is absent, we are the jury
At the beginning of this book, the author emphasized that in the past, it was impossible for this Orient Express to be as full as it is now. At that time, I guessed that these passengers might have taken the bus for a purpose. However, I did not expect that their purposes were completely consistent. Each of them knew each other and had the same belief. When I read that each of the twelve people had been stabbed once, and that every passenger was a participant in the murder, a trembling feeling quickly spread throughout my body. I was surprised and suddenly realized. This is a wonderful story, and the author also gave this story a warm ending. Thanks to the author, and to every "actor" on the Orient Express, for letting me really participate in the process of solving the case, and have my own thoughts and guesses when I read every page of the book. This was the best experience I had with this book.
It's really good to watch. I've read the movie version of the commentary on other platforms before, but I still want to read the original work. The original work is so wonderful! There are foreshadowings everywhere. I really recommend reading it [Like][Like][Like]
Such a classic, revenge from 12 painful souls
This is one of Agatha Christie's masterpieces. It uses a murder case on the Orient Express as a clue to launch a gripping reasoning journey. In the novel, everyone is a suspect and everyone has their own secret. The protagonist Hercule Poirot relies on his keen insight and reasoning ability to finally solve this seemingly impossible murder case. The characters in the novel are vivid, the plot is compact, and the reasoning process is rigorous. It is very enjoyable to read. At the same time, the novel also touches on some philosophical and moral issues, allowing readers to enjoy the fun of reasoning while also thinking about human nature and social issues. This classic mystery novel is not only one of Agatha Christie's masterpieces, but also a classic in the history of mystery novels. It is worth reading.
"Murder on the Orient Express" is a detective novel written by Agatha Christie. It belongs to the detective Hercule Poirot series and was first published by the British Collins Crime Club on January 1, 1934. The novel revolves around a murder case that occurred on the luxury train "Orient Express". It tells the story of the great detective Poirot who cleared away the fog on the murderous train and finally identified the real murderer among the twelve suspects. The novel explores lynching and revenge under the imperfect rule of law, and the contradictions between human justice and legal disputes.
Even though the modus operandi was revealed, when the truth was revealed, I still felt an unparalleled shock in my heart. Every unexpected twist had a corresponding foreshadowing in the previous chapters. More than the case itself, the deeply hidden relationships between the characters moved me the most. (The following are spoilers, read with caution) The lives of the twelve people on the train were closely entangled in the tragedy of the past kidnapping case. In order to punish the culprit, they joined forces to perform a wonderful drama. What impressed me most was Mrs. Hubbard. I always thought she was a funny character, always talking about her daughter, but when her true identity was revealed, every laugh she once had became sad and heavy. The phrase "I always fantasize about being able to act in comedy" is very touching. Her life is just like the character she plays on the stage, an unforgettable tragedy. But today, she and eleven other people personally avenged her daughter, and she is no longer a pitiful puppet led by fate. In the end, Poirot's handling of the case made me relieved. The revenge is over. I hope these twelve poor people who have experienced misfortune can move towards their own future... The only regret is that the culprit of the kidnapping case has not been punished by law. Therefore, this is not only an excellent detective mystery novel, but through the story of Orient Express, we can see Ms. Agatha's thoughts on justice, law and human nature. In a sense, this book is similar to "No One Survived"...
Agatha Christie's most famous suspense novel. As if fate was entangled, everyone who had suffered difficulties due to the victim many years ago gathered on the Orient Express at the same time, preparing to take revenge on the heinous enemy. Blizzard road closure created a typical secret room, and clues from the crime scene pointed to everyone present. When we follow the detective to explore layer by layer, we find that all the guesses have been overturned one by one, and then the twists and turns turn out to be the murderer. However, the murderer in the legal sense is a good person in the emotional sense. The ending arranged by Grandma should satisfy most readers.
Recommended reading! Here are some small reading suggestions: you can turn off comments, because there are a lot of spoilers; pay attention to some small details, none of them are useless The first mystery novel I read was Sherlock Holmes, and then when I started reading comics, I read a lot of Conan. The pineapple written by Agatha (haha on purpose) is a very interesting character, with a warmth of humanity. My thoughts: A tragedy, a wrong decision, a trial A sad song, echoes throughout a lifetime, stops with a note A memory, a coincidence, an "accomplice" Try not to read the comments first. When I started reading, I was already spoiled by the ending of the detective method. Then I habitually read the comments and some wonderful methods were already clear. When I read it, there was no such reversal, but a smooth feeling.
I watched the movie first and knew the ending, and then read the novel, and I was still shocked by the ending. Everyone was trapped on a train due to a blizzard, a typical Blizzard Villa incident. The detective must deduce what happened and find the murderer within the limit of time. A carefully built "stage", a group of "actors" with evil intentions, and the detective must see through the lies in the performances of many people, puzzle out the truth, and make the stage end perfectly. We will be misled by traditional reasoning methods, thinking that we need to find one person as the murderer among all the passengers on the train, but in fact, the author has just subverted this traditional logic, and Poirot's choice is precisely the balance of human nature.
All good people. A tragic family, the living people are either in pain, or sad, or died because of injustice. The moment of revenge is not only pleasure but also mixed with pain. (I highly recommend the old lady's other film "No One Survived," which is also super good.)
Although it is an imperfect crime, it is a perfect ending. I have watched various mystery dramas based on Murder on the Orient Express. This is the first time I have watched the original work directly. It is indeed a famous mystery novel! ! ! ! Asaga Christie is really awesome!
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. A meticulous, perfect murder. Everyone is pursuing a just result, letting the evil ones die and the good ones living. Poirot seems to have a little more warmth than other detectives. In his eyes, substantive justice is far greater than formal justice. As a reader, I can't help but sigh that there is true love in the world.
I'm going! Nice! This ending was completely unexpected. I wasn't exposed to any spoilers, so I was guessing the murderer while watching it. I was guessing that it might be the beautiful Miss Debenham. I really just thought about whatever Poirot said. I really never thought that all the suspects committed the crime in a gang, and one person and one knife solved all their hatreds. This ending is also very good! [Almost crying] [Almost crying]
It's very shocking. This is my first time reading a mystery novel. I thought about several murderers, but I just didn't expect the final answer. It's really shocking [thinking] [thinking] [thinking] [thinking] [thinking] [thinking]
A very classic suspense novel, worth reading. My suggestion is not to look at the comments, paragraphs, or tagged paragraphs. Because that's how I was spoiled TT. . . . . So sad
This book is so famous that when I was searching for this book to read, I just searched for the first few words and this book automatically popped up. This book serves as the almost originator and model of suspense. Of course, I don't need to say more about the wonderful stories, wonderful foreshadowings, and twists that I never tire of. This book is something I read almost every time. Even if I know exactly what will happen next because I have read it so many times, I will still be shocked when it actually appears in front of me. I recommend reading it to everyone.
Continuation of "Roger's Mystery" Grandma's another perfect masterpiece! It is called "a trick that can only be used once in the whole world"! Grandma's previous novels always made you suspect everyone and gave you a twist in the end; this time it's different, everyone is a murderer. Twelve people committed murders for the Armstrong family and to avenge the mastermind behind the tragedy. It can be said that the ending has not been seen, and it is difficult for people to think of it.
It's really exciting and shocking (spoilers) I thought that someone in their testimony must have lied, because the clues and testimonies given could not infer even a little bit of the method of committing the crime. I thought that since someone lied, the murderer must have more than one accomplice, but I did not expect that they were all murderers. They used the simplest method of committing the crime to kill Ratchett, but they worked together to construct the best lie, making the official think that this was an extremely complicated case. In fact, now that I think about it carefully, there are so many coincidences. If there are too many coincidences, there must be something wrong with the testimony, and the first-class seat happens to be full. By the third chapter, it is actually very clear. Since so many people on the bus are related to Armstrong, it is inevitable that these people know each other. If everyone knows each other, then the conclusion is actually quite reasonable, but it still feels very shocking. A busload of people tried a prisoner.
Between law and morality, who can define true justice? The law pursues procedural fairness, but it inevitably has loopholes; morality follows inner conscience, but it can easily slip into using violence to fight violence. Orient Express is like a microcosm of society. When justice is absent, do ordinary people have the right to pick up the sword of judgment? The twelve wounds are revenge and an accusation against the cold law; Poirot's compromise is favoritism and persistence in the warmth of human nature. The novel does not give a standard answer, but it allows us to understand that justice is not black or white, and that in the gray area of human nature, the most complex and real situations in the world are hidden.
So cool! The whole process is full of details and foreshadowing, and the truth was not revealed until the end, and the truth was beyond my expectation. It was like watching a very exciting drama. Finally, I want to say that the ending is truly divine!
This is the second novel written by my grandma that I have read. The previous one was "No One Survived" I feel like Grandma's stories tend to be from the perspective of law and punishment.
As expected of Agatha, my God, it's so amazing. I actually took notes while reading, because their names were so long and messy that I couldn't remember them at all. I only remembered their identities, but that was enough. When taking notes, I noticed that Poirot said there were 13 people in the entire dining car, and I also wrote down some small characteristics of each person. It wasn't until the deceased was stabbed 12 times that I noticed the connection between these numbers. Later, when it was gradually revealed that their true identities were related to the Armstrong family, I made a casual guess, maybe all of these people had stabbed the deceased. But I thought it was impossible to designate two people as the murderers in my heart. Unexpectedly, all 12 people had stabbed the deceased. I was really shocked when I saw the final ending. It was really shocking and very exciting. It was truly Agatha.
To be honest, before I read the last few pages, I was still thinking that Agatha Christie's classics are not very powerful, maybe because they are too old. After reading the ending, I realized I was wrong. Five-star recommendation.
Thrilling, many twists and turns, and an unexpected ending. . . Super exciting! You will never guess who this person is when you read it. The logic is smooth and there are a lot of foreshadowings. You will suddenly realize it when you read it again. (Because I like it so much, the language is not fluent www)
What's going on with this book? There are so many people who love spoilers. Overall it lives up to its name. The tone is relaxed but the details are intertwined and reversible. Among them, Mr. Booker has been playing a comedy role in a serious manner. It is really funny [face cover] and the discussion about morality between the characters is also quite contagious. However, the case still relies on coincidence and collective understanding to a certain extent, and the setting of clues is biased toward guidance rather than fair play.
I always thought suspense novels were scary, but it turned out not to be the case. The last two chapters made me cry😭😭😭People from different countries, different ages, and different classes jointly executed the "victim". They are all murderers, but they are all kind people. Detective Poirot, director Booker and the doctor are all very good people. The detective found out the truth by peeling off the cocoons and chose to help them fill the loopholes. Booker and the doctor also agreed. However, the note was not completely burned, and there were still words on it, which feels a bit buggy. However, if this were not the case, this story would not exist, because it is difficult to associate the relationship between these passengers and the Armstrong family.
