Les travaux d'Hercule

"Le train est aussi dangereux que le paquebot " dit Hercule Poirot...Le lendemain, dans un wagon de l'Orient-Express bloqué par les neiges yougoslaves, on découvre le cadavre d'un Américain lardé de douze coups de couteau.L'assassin n'a pu venir de l'extérieur : voici donc un huis clos, le plus fameux, peut-être, de toute la littérature policière, où, pour mener son enquête, le petit détective belge a le choix entre une princesse russe, une Américaine fantasque, le secrétaire de la victime, un couple de Hongrois distingués, l'inévitable colonel de retour des Indes, les domestiques de ce beau monde et le contrôleur du wagon.Un meurtre incompréhensible, à moins qu'on ne puisse établir que tous ces voyageurs sont moins étrangers les uns aux autres qu'ils ne veulent bien le prétendre...

Le Crime de l'Orient-Express

‘Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe,’ declared the parson, brandishing a carving knife above a joint of roast beef, ‘would be doing the world at large a favour!’ It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later – when the colonel was found shot dead in the clergyman’s study. But as Miss Marple soon discovers, the whole village seems to have had a motive to kill Colonel Protheroe.

Tome 4: les années 1934-35

An old woman in a nursing home speaks of a child buried behind the fireplace… When Tommy and Tuppence visited an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they thought nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all, Ada was a very difficult old lady.

The Murder on the Links & Murder on the Orient Express Bundle - Two Bestselling Agatha Christie Mysteries

Agatha Christie's most famous murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. 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.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Dans ce train où ne se côtoient que des gens aux comptes en banque bien fournis, et qui fuient les brumes anglaises pour le soleil de la Côte d'Azur, la fille d'un homme d'affaires américain est assassinée. Enquête difficile, tant par le milieu dans lequel elle se déroule que par la vitesse imposée à ladite enquête par l'horaire auquel le « Train bleu » doit se soumettre. En bref, le criminel aurait toutes les chances d'échapper à la justice si - pour son malheur - Hercule Poirot n'avait pas été là...
