pickVery cool book, very great wording and It‘s really funny.
pickWhat a fun book! I‘m surprised again at how easy and quick Agatha Christie‘s books are. I saw the movie, so going into the book I knew who killed Ratchett, and that made it fun seeing all the little clues along the way. But I do kind of wish I had read the book before the movie, because twists in books are always fun.
pickI gifted the box set of Agatha Christie books for my Aunt's 75th birthday. With the biggest smile she asked "How did you know I love her books? These were my fav reads"
Finally I decided to jump on the bandwagon and OMG I loved it. I would not write a review as it has been written before, but as someone who loves crime -mystery, I was amazed with how Poirot's mind works to solve the murder and even more with the plot of this story.
I knew Agatha Christy was Queen of the Cozy Mystery, but it also has kind of a society drama meets McElroy goofs vibe that I am very much here for.
Sick burn, Hercule. 😂
I‘m reading while Emma *gently reminds me* that she had not had breakfast yet. I‘ve been watching the old 90s Poirot TV show with my spouse, and after viewing the absolutely bonkers recent remake of Murder on the Orient Express, I had to see how the book was better. I don‘t know why I waited so long! The cast of characters is fun and a little ridiculous, the style is more modern than I expected and the humor is surprisingly goofy!
pickThis was a re-read for me, for my Detective Fiction class. While I‘ve seen some concern about the lack of depth for the characters, I think that was purposeful. It‘s one of the problems Poirot faces. He doesn‘t have the time to build a rapport, to figure out personalities. He has to go by what is in front of him and fast. I was still surprised by parts of the reveal and still think this is a great twist on the locked-room mystery! ☺️
pickSuch a classic that I have been wanting to read for a while. Unlike some, I don't really like to try to figure out the ending, but I genuinely did not expect it to end the way it did. I love the character development; all of their stories end up weaving together so well!

Murder on the Orient Express, part of a detective series, is my first Agatha Christie novel. It's an easy, quick read and a good, surprising whodunit- mystery. Beyond that, however, it is absent of character and setting development, relationships, plot, and anything that could make it a rich or meaningful read.
March 16 #SavvySettings Trains I never read this but saw many versions of the movie @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
1. I guess I haven‘t read enough to have a favorite…yet.
2. Either. I feel smart when I figure it out, but I love a good surprise, too. But I hate it when I‘m sure I know what happened and then turn out to be wrong.
3. About to start the tagged book (I want to read it before I watch the new movie). 👇🏼
Some of the vintage books my son bought me for Christmas 😍
pickI got to scratch off another book from my poster today 😁 This is my second Agatha Christie novel and I enjoyed it. I've always heard references to Murder on the Orient Express but never realized it was actually a series! Such a classic. Might have to look into some of the other Hercule Poirot mysteries 📚 Can't wait to watch the movie with my partner 😁
pickWow, what a fun Christie mystery! It was also very cool to hear it read by Kenneth Branagh. I just saw his (somewhat over-the-top) Hamlet for the first time and was reminded of how good an actor he is (if a little cheesy at times). His voice acting in this audiobook is excellent. One of my great joys in life is hearing British people do American accents, but even Branagh's American accents were good (and only a little unintentionally amusing).

pickMOAR AGATHA. Even when you know every detail of this story it is thrilling to read it again. Especially on a train traveling through Europe. Can never get enough Agatha.

#Whodunit
When I think of whodunit I always think classic murder mystery.
“Then,” said Poirot, “having placed my solution before you, I have the honour to retire from the case. . . .”

pickJust have caught up on the September pick for #thatsclassic
This was the first time I read Orient Express, and went in knowing nothing, but somehow I guessed the solution before the big reveal. Still, I enjoyed the book a lot, even though some of Poirot's quick conclusions bothered me a little.
@Annie1215
pickWell, that didn't go as planned. I meant to see how many Christies I could read in 24 hours, but instead I only made it through half of this book yesterday, the rest today. It was thoroughly enjoyable, but I must admit I'm excited to read one I don't already know quite so well. Next up: The Kenneth Branaugh adaptation for #screamathon!

This section title cracks me up! Agatha Christie is proving to be excellent medicine.
#scarepairs #screamathon #agathachristieclubr2 #scarathlon2021 #teamslaughter #spookoween #wickedathon
I decided to start off my #scarathlon2021 reading with a 24-hour Agatha Christie readathon (inspired by Ciara Foster on YouTube). I am going to sleep; but other than that, I'm going to fit in as much reading as possible for the next 24 hours. First up: Murder on the Orient Express (which is also my scare pair for #screamathon). Yay for readathons! 🚂🧐🔪
#teamslaughter #scarepairs #screamathon #spookoween #wickedathon #agathachristieclubr2
We‘re at the end of September which means we‘re at the end of Agatha Christie (for now 😉)
Christie is one of the classics of mystery/thriller stories. Is she the blueprint to you? If not who do you consider the king or queen of the mystery novel?
#thatsclassic
pickI knew the ending thanks to the movie, but this was still an intriguing listen. While some of Hercule Poirot's suspicions and connections seem a bit far-fetched, I was still interested in the unraveling of this mystery. Trying to keep track of all the characters and the content of their interrogations by Poirot was a difficult task, but once I decided to just go along for the ride, it was more enjoyable. This was another audiobook and ⬇️
pickFinally wrapping this up for #thatsclassic
It reminded me so much of the movies Clue and Knives Out.
This was my first Agatha Christie book and I can certainly see familiar mystery devices that this has influenced in more modern works.
Did you predict the conclusion the first time you read this?
Sorry I‘ve been MIA lately - I‘ve just been in a funk 🙃
Haven‘t been doing much reading this month - I‘ll spare you the details and get to our #thatsclassic check in!
I‘m only a few chapters in, but tell me one word that comes to mind about this book that will make sense at some point.
Right now my word is: suspense
pickJumping into #thatsclassic and knocking off my #doublespin with this one. I‘ve seen the Albert Finney movie version (and about 15 minutes of the Branagh version, didn‘t like), so I knew what was coming. I liked the book better, though the movie was well done. The twists were very twisty! It‘s a product of its times, too, but that‘s to be expected. Lots of assumptions about Italians/English/Americans/women.
Sorry I‘ve been MIA. I was on vacation and got shockingly little reading done!
How are all my #thatsclassic readers doing?
Are you mystery fans normally? Do you find a difference in tone between men and women mystery writers?
pickI managed to avoid knowing anything about this famous murder mystery going in (shocking I know)so it was interesting to try and work through the clues and evidence with Poirot!
This is my 2nd Agatha Christie, and I have to say I much preferred it to Halloween Party. However I don‘t really find her characters very likeable! I will definitely try others if I happen upon them though and I‘m glad I read it :)
#ThatsClassic
pickI recently read the first Poirot (Mysterious Affair at Styles) and enjoyed it and was interested to see how Christie fine tuned Poirot - she did - he is a wonderful character in this book and the book itself is fun - I had not read it before or seen the movie versions - so it was all a surprise to me as I tried to solve the murder - #ThatsClassic @Annie1215
Make a great day everyone 😊

Welcome to September #thatsclassic readers! It‘s the best time of year 🍁🍂
We are kicking off our next pick, Murder On The Orient Express. This is actually my first Agatha Christie!
I‘ve somehow managed to avoid not only the book but also the movie, so I‘m going in totally blind!
Do you all have an favorite or least favorite Christie book? How does mystery fall on your radar overall?
Today‘s library #bookhaul from my secondary library (doesn‘t everybody have three?). Tagged, on the right, is for (maybe) joining #thatsclassic ; Lorde is for #SheSaid ; and the gn caught my eye. Because I didn‘t already have a ton of books to read this month.

#ThatsClassic @Annie1215 - looking forward to the September pick (tagged book)
Make a great day everyone -
pickAn engaging thriller!! A good start to Agatha Christie novel series! A must pick for all MYSTERY LOVERS!
The results are in #thatsclassic readers!
This is the rest of our 2021 lineup. You can plan accordingly!
We are kicking off September with Murder On The Orient Express, my first Agatha Christie 😀
Let me know what you think of these picks! Which do you think you‘ll read along to?
Neeeeeext!
Apparently this doesn't have the same solution as the book. It's like if Poirot went on the Orient Express a second time... Let's do it!
pickSO SO good!!! This one is so well-known that I did know the gist of the whodunnit, but I loved figuring out the HOW with Poirot. Also, I loved the tiny twist at the end after the killer is revealed!
I've held off watching the movie because I knew I wanted to read the book first, but now I'll have to watch it and compare 😊
