A luxurious journey aboard the Orient Express turns into a race against time when a murder is committed. Detective Hercule Poirot interrogates the suspects during a long stop in the mountains of Yugo
A mysterious house on a deserted island, far from the rest of the world. Ten people who have never met before, united only by the fact that they all have a disturbing past and brought together by an inexplicable series of invitations. A mysterious guest who never shows up. And an absurd childrens nursery rhyme that returns obsessively, implacably punctuating a succession of murders.

It was clear, straightforward and at the same time disconcerting, Christie recounted in her autobiography, recalling the laborious genesis of her most widely read and best-loved novel, with multiple adaptations for theatre, film and television.
