L'Orient Express, il leggendario treno delle spie e degli avventurieri internazionali, occupa un posto importante nell'immaginario degli appassionati di letteratura. Il merito è di questo libro. In quella che probabilmente è la più celebre delle sue imprese, Hercule Poirot, salito a bordo di un vagone di prima classe partito da Istanbul e diretto a Calais, è costretto a occuparsi di un efferato delitto: mentre il treno è bloccato dalla neve sui Balcani, qualcuno tra i passeggeri pugnala a morte il signor Ratchett, un ricco quanto insopportabile cittadino americano. L'assassino deve per forza nascondersi tra i viaggiatori, ma nessuno di loro sembra avere un movente. Almeno in apparenza... Pubblicato nel 1934, "Assassinio sull'Orient Express" è da molti considerato il capolavoro di Agatha Christie, ed è sicuramente uno dei gialli più noti e letti in tutto il mondo.
