Review
"What more...can a mystery addict desire?"--New York Times

"A brilliantly ingenious story."--Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK)

"It's tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world's had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special."--Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author

"[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion."--Chicago Daily Tribune

"Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business."--New York Herald Tribune

"Need it be said--the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end."--Times Literary Supplement (London)

"Agatha Christie's books are both wonderful crime novels and studies in contrast and duality, and I adore them still. Underestimate them at your peril."--Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Gamache novels

"Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction."--Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of the Dublin Murder Squad novels

Murder on the Orient Express《东方快车谋杀案》以1932年轰动一时的真实案件“林白之子绑架案”为蓝本。
侦探波洛在叙利亚完成了一项委托，要搭乘辛普朗号东方快车回国。奇怪的是，似乎全世界的人都选在那一夜出行，这列铺位一向宽裕的豪华列车竟然一票难求。
午夜过后，一场大雪迫使辛普朗号停了下来。第二天一早，大家发现少了一名乘客。一个美国人死在了他的包厢里，他被刺了十二刀，可他包厢的门却是反锁着的。随着调查的深入，案情却似乎更加扑朔迷离，大侦探波洛想出了两种截然不同的解释……

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. 
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer— in case he or she decides to strike again.

第1次世界大战期间，阿加莎·克里斯蒂成了一名志愿者。战争结束后，她创作了自己的第1部侦探小说《斯泰尔斯庄园奇案》。几经周折，作品于一九二○正式出版，由此开启了克里斯蒂辉煌的创作生涯。一九二六年，《罗杰疑案》由哈珀柯林斯出版公司出版。这部作品一举奠定了阿加莎·克里斯蒂在侦探文学领域不可撼动的地位。之后，她又陆续出版了《东方快车谋杀案》、《ABC谋杀案》、《尼罗河上的惨案》、《无人生还》、《阳光下的罪恶》等脍炙人口的作品。时至今日，这些作品依然是世界侦探文学宝库里宝贵的财富。根据她的小说改编而成的舞台剧《捕鼠器》，已经成为世界上公演场次很多的剧目；而在影视改编方面，《东方快车谋杀案》为英格丽·褒曼斩获奥斯卡大奖，《尼罗河上的惨案》更是成为了几代人心目中的经典。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂的创作生涯持续了五十余年，总共创作了八十部侦探小说。她的作品畅销全世界一百多个国家和地区，累计销量已经突破二十亿册。她创造的小胡子侦探波洛和老处女侦探马普尔小姐为读者津津乐道。阿加莎·克里斯蒂是柯南·道尔之后伟大的侦探小说作家，是侦探文学黄金时代的开创者和集大成者。一九七一年，英国女王授予克里斯蒂爵士称号，以表彰其不朽的贡献。

Chapter 1
AnImportant Passenger On TheTaurusExpress
It was five o’clock on a winter’s morning in Syria. Alongside the platform at Aleppo stood the train grandly designated in railway guides as the Taurus Express. It consisted of a kitchen and dining car, a sleeping car and two local coaches.
By the step leading up into the sleeping car stood a young French lieutenant, resplendent in uniform, conversing with a small lean man, muffled up to the ears, of whom nothing was visible but a pink-tipped nose and the two points of an upward curled moustache.
It was freezingly cold, and this job of seeing off a distinguished stranger was not one to be envied, but Lieutenant Dubosc performed his part manfully. Graceful phrases fell from his lips in polished French. Not that he knew what it was all about. There had been rumours, of course, as there always were in such cases. The General—his General’s—temper had grown worse and worse. And then there had come this Belgian stranger—all the way from England, it seemed. There had been a week—a week of curious tensity. And then certain things had happened. A very distinguished officer had committed suicide, another had resigned—anxious faces had suddenly lost their anxiety, certain military precautions were relaxed. And the General—Lieutenant Dubosc’s own particular General—had suddenly looked ten years younger.
Dubosc had overheard part of a conversation between him and the stranger. “You have saved us, mon cher,” said the General emotionally, his great white moustache trembling as he spoke. “You have saved the honour of the French Army—you have averted much bloodshed! How can I thank you for acceding to my request? To have come so far—”.
