1 luxury carriage + 1 dead person + 12 suspects = Agatha's most famous work
“This train is really packed!”
This book is based on the real case that caused a sensation in 1932, the "Lin Bai's Son Kidnapping Case".
Detective Poirot completed a commission in Syria and was going to take the Simplon Orient Express back home. Strangely, it seemed that people all over the world chose to travel on that night, and this luxury train, which always had ample berths, was hard to get a ticket.
After midnight, a heavy snow forced the Simplon to stop. The next morning, everyone found that one passenger was missing. An American was dead in his compartment. He was stabbed twelve times, but the door of his compartment was locked. As the investigation deepened, the case seemed to be more complicated and confusing.

About the Author · · · · · ·
The undisputed queen of detective novels and one of the greatest writers in the history of detective literature.
Agatha Christie was born Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller on September 15, 1890 at Ashfield House in Torquay, Devon, England. She had almost no formal education, but loved reading, especially the stories of Sherlock Holmes.
During the First World War, Agatha Christie became a volunteer. After the war, she wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles. After many twists and turns, the work was officially published in 1920, which marked the beginning of Christie's brilliant writing career. In 1926, The Mystery of Roger was published by HarperCollins. This work established Agatha Christie's unshakable position in the field of detective literature. After that, she successively published popular works such as Murder on the Orient Express, The ABC Murders, Death on the Nile, And Then There Were None, and Evil Under the Sun. To this day, these works are still the most precious treasures in the world's detective literature treasure house. The stage play The Mousetrap adapted from her novel has become the most performed play in the world; in terms of film and television adaptations, Murder on the Orient Express won Ingrid Bergman an Oscar, and Death on the Nile has become a classic in the minds of generations.
Agatha Christie's writing career lasted for more than 50 years, and she wrote a total of 80 detective novels. Her works are sold in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, with cumulative sales exceeding 2 billion copies. The mustache detective Poirot and the spinster detective Miss Marple, whom she created, are talked about by readers with great relish. Agatha Christie is the greatest detective novelist after Conan Doyle, and the pioneer and master of the golden age of detective literature. In 1971, the Queen of England awarded Christie the title of Sir in recognition of her immortal contribution.
On January 12, 1976, Agatha Christie died at her home in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England, and was buried in the cemetery of St. Mary's Church in Oxfordshire at the age of 85.
