The untrodden snow around the train proved that the murderer was still on board.Poirot investigates.He lies back and thinks - with his little grey cells. . . 'Murder on the Orient Express' must rank as one of the most ingenious stories ever devised. The solution is brilliant.One can but admire again the amazing resource of Agatha Christie.
