About the Book


This book consists too many characters Ratchet, Mary Debenham, Princess Dragomir off, Countess Andrenyi, Mr.Hubbard, Colonel Arbuthnot, Count Andrenyi, McQueen, Foscarelli, Hardman, Dr.Constantine, Greta, Pierre including Mr. Poirot. But Miss Agatha systematically organises the proportion of each character in the continuation. Whenever you read this book, you will feel like a part of the investigation. 


Agatha divided  this book  into a part like facts , investigation, murder and respective subgroups so, reader's  don't face difficulty to understand the fact. Beautiful articulation of words and abject expression at the same time. She uses notes or diagrams in a book which helps you a lot to enjoy the journey.


Self Analysis


While reading this book I feel the drastic change of scenario from then and now. I enjoyed a lot also, but our society, technology, way of presentation is, morals are changed. At that time Mr. Detector was stranger what if he don't care about the murder no one was going to push him for investigation or no one was going to abuse him. 


But his action of taking responsibility  for the investigation , what if no one  was going to help him. What was that ?? They have alternative options like" why do they care about murder they just want to reach their destination police or authority has to care about" but they didn't. 


Are we doing the same in the 21st century? What is the probability of such kinds of responsible action  at this stage of time  can't say, isn't it a fact on which we all have to think.


My rating for this book - 4 on 5

Go and definitely read this book - Murder on the Orient express
