Hercule Poirot is my favorite detective of all time. While Holmes focussed on the physical forensic clues of a crime and logical deductions, Piorot was about that plus the psychology of the crimes. Why someone was driven to commit murder was just as important as how they did it. If you ever go looking into adaptations of the detective, I have to say the version played by David Suchet is hands down THE best Poirot I have ever seen.

If you're referring to the Kenneth Branagh version, skip it. It's too action oriented for the plump, short, Belgian detective. If you are going to seek out one of the adapted versions of this to watch, seek out the BBC made version starring David Suchet. His Poirot is quintessential.

@jasonblalock4429 2 жыл бұрын

For me, what makes this such a truly great detective story is that Poirot isn't a static character. He has an actual arc, and the ending of the book changes him. That's extremely rare in most detective fiction, where the MC typically has a set character that doesn't change much, if any, because their personality ties into their method of crime-solving. (ie, a Monk who isn't OCD isn't Monk.) That elevates it to literature, imo.

Murder on the Orient Express one of the best known and comfortably among the best Agatha Christie novel, but it's also not the best one to start with. Much of what it does most cleverly is taking entirely new paths on the genre conventions Christie was such a part in establishing, and particularly her own conventions in these stories, specifically to take her own audience off-guard. It's still a very good murder mystery even if it's your first, but you get a much better ride if you've read enough of her books to know her style well, since you are being directly targeted by the story's cleverest twists. It's also why the Acorn TV show sensibly put it near the very end when they had established their own style for it to play off, and why it was a mistake for it to be the first of the new franchise of films. Death on the Nile ought to have come before it, perhaps even another great story like the Murder of Roger Akroyd.

I love Agatha Christie. The best thing about her mysteries imo is that they are "fair play whodunnits": You get all the information you need to discover the culprit and how the crime was commited before the big reveal. Reading her books feels a lot like playing a game.

@edisonlima4647 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. And she is also a master of mood. Her comedic scenes always make me laugh, her darker scenes are never short on weight and she can pull off comedy in mysteries and dark scenes in romances without feeling artificial or out of place at all, which I find to be a rather rare talent, but for some reason I cannot fathom a bit less uncommon in English fiction.

Also, some of the Pocket Book paper back editions had yet a third title.

Agatha Christie based the background of the story on the kidnapping and murder of the toddler son of Charles Lindbergh but also on her own experience riding on the Wagon Lit train from Calais to Istanbul. By riding on the train and meeting new people from all over the world, she was able to let her imagination wander was able to conjure Poirot and her own particular characters into the "locked door" environment of the train journey in winter.

My one English teachers in high school had us read a Christie book as part of his class, and to make sure that the students didn't spoil the plot for each other, each year he had a different novel for each year, and cycled through them. My year was the ABC Murders, which is another good one, and two of the others I know he had his students read was Murder Under the Sun and Murder on the Orient Express. I didn't read the book first, but saw the excellent 70's movie version first, and was stunned by the ending. Even knowing the ending when I read the book, I loved it.

The killer was Rosebud, she did it with a sled.

Hercule Poirot would be proud of your pronunciation of his name :)

I love the Orient Express radio play by the BBC with Poriot being played by John Moffatt

I have read this. (Or maybe it was the adaption for stage) Playlist says 23 books. I've read about 11 of them depending on how you count the shorts.

Knew the ending to this one going in and I still had no fucking clue how Poirot put it all together.

The flamboyand Art dèco of the setting is equally important, at least for the movie adaptions...

I like the subtle clues you put in 😉 I don't think it's a very interesting story once you know the solution: too many characters so it kinda rushes through the plot. Some other Poirot stories are better imo. The connection to the real case feels distastefull to me (i also disliked it when CSI made their cases to much plucked-from-the-headline)

That's the thing - it's more a capstone to her writing than a foundation. Aside from having to pull off a story where the answer to whodunnit can viably just be 'yes', it is very much written to exploit that her audience knows her tics and tricks, to get around their expectations.

I keep trying to tell friends about why they should read this book, and it's continuously frustrating because I don't want to spoil the ending.

Always a problem with Christie. Perhaps you could try to expose them to one of her shirt stories first, like "Philomel Cottage" or "Accident". I love those!

I'm going to say this is a spoiler, but it isn't a direct statement, just be weary. The way they look at the camera at 3:17 after he says "they can't all be guilty" is a great hint at the ending.
