Murder on the Orient Express

I picked this up to give me a sense of achievement while reading It. I was particularly looking forward to the movie which is coming soon, so I thought this short novel would be a good choice. This is the first Agatha Christie I've ever read, and I found it enjoyable.

Firstly, I do not often read crime novels. Its just not something I reach for often. I enjoyed reading this book, particularly for how fast I was getting through it. It felt like a quick, intriguing read that kept me going. I enjoyed all the characters, and thought the interactions between this large cast was well written. In addition, I thought the book was a good length for the period of time that it considered.

One note, I felt the descriptions of the reasons behind the deductions were a bit overwhelming and unclear, but I think the movie will clear things up for me.
