Book Review: Murder on the Orient Express - Agatha Christie

Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot #10) - Agatha Christie

In this installment, Hercule Poirot finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery aboard the Orient Express. The train, stuck in a snowstorm, has been at a standstill and no passengers have been in or out of the train.

This was my second Agatha Christie book. I had read one in high school and read this book as part of a book challenge (Read a book considered to be a classic). I liked the way the crime was solved using only deduction and observation, even though sometimes I felt like Hercule Poirot was taking a huge leap and, with luck, it worked out for him. 

I did think the story went around in a circle at times, with Poirot and his colleagues replaying scenes or conversations over and over again, asking the same questions to the different passengers and getting the same answers. 

However, overall, I found it an easy and enjoyable read. It was a nice change of pace from the modern mystery crime novels written today.
