Agatha Christie’s

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Wax your mustache and hold onto your passport for this ingenious murder mystery from the world’s best-selling author of all time. Ten passengers board the luxurious Orient Express but after the train unexpectedly stops in isolated, snow-swept mountains, only nine of them are still alive. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Thankfully, debonair detective Hercule Poirot is on the train and on the case. Trapped in the snow with a killer still on-board, can the world’s most famous detective crack the case before the train reaches its final destination? This thrilling ride is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end of the line.
