The detective is none other then Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective. He board a very expensive train with many other first class and second class guests.
But during one of the nights, one of the guests is brutally murdered. He was murdered by somone who was male and female left handed and right handed, smoker of a pipe and has a handkercheif with an ' 'H' on it. The victim was killed some time between midnight and two.
Oh and I forgot to mention that the train is snowbound, so most likely the murderer is still on the train.
Poirot must conduct a full scale investigation of who committed the murder, but he doesn't have the police, he doesn't have the necessary things he needs for an in depth search. And there is the confusion of the Male-Female-left-handed-right-handed killer.
I loved this book. Its is entrancing and captivating story. The plot keeps going deeper and deeper throughout the whole story, there is not a dull moment. It is a hard mystery to solve ahead of time, but I have this weird thing where I usually think of multiple solutions and one of them was right.
I recommend this book to all Agatha Christie lovers and non-lovers alike. And also to those who have not yet read any mystery books, this a great starter.
