I forget about Agatha Christie's books and when I read one I remember why they are still being read today. They are good! This is one of Miss Marple's books. Her friend has seen a murder on a train but no one believes her. It is up to Miss Marple to find the body and the murderer. I enjoyed th...
Ah Christie, you cunning minx you. I knew my earlier guess had low odds for being right, but I never saw that coming. I probably should have given the book a higher rating, but it started off slow and frankly, I don't feel confident yet that Christie didn't pull a rabbit out of her hat here. I ne...
I have watched the Margaret Rutherford movie adaption at least five times over the last two years, so I was pefectly aware who the murderer is going to be. But man, did I adore this book, or what? I really, really loved it. It was so much fun, especially Lucy Eyelesbarrow among the Crackenthorp crow...

To my delight, I read this book while on a train. At one point another train did pull alongside us and I checked to make sure no one was getting murdered. Alas, my wish to live in a book remains a daydream. In case you haven't read the book, it opens with a woman on a train who sees a murder on th...
This has been one of my favorite Agatha Christie novels since the first time I read it. The premise of the novel fascinates me and Lucy absolutely fascinates me. The premise is that Mrs. McGillicuddy see a murder happen on a train that her train happens to be passing but when she reports it, there ...
I have to say that for any mystery enthusiasts out there you have to make sure that you read Agatha Christie. I cannot get over how many books this woman wrote and how she manages to surprise me every time with her endings.4:50 from Paddington begins with Mrs. Elspeth McGillicuddy taking a train to ...
