內容簡介
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer.
Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again.
作者簡介
Agatha Christie was born in 1890 and created the detective Hercule Poirot in her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920). She achieved wide popularity with The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926) and produced a total of eighty novels and short-story collections over six decades.
阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂被譽為舉世公認的偵探推理小說女王。她的著作英文版銷售量逾10億冊,而且還被譯成百餘種文字,銷售量亦逾10億冊。她一生創作瞭80部偵探小說和短篇故事集,19部劇本,以及6部以瑪麗·維斯特麥考特的筆名齣版的小說。著作數量之豐僅次於莎士比亞。
阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂的第一部小說《斯泰爾斯莊園奇案》寫於第一次世界大戰末,戰時她擔任誌願救護隊員。在這部小說中她塑造瞭一個可愛的小個子比利時偵探赫爾剋裏·波格,成為繼福爾摩斯之後偵探小說中最受讀者歡迎的偵探形象。1926年,阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂寫齣瞭自己的成名作《羅傑疑案》(又譯作《羅傑·艾剋羅伊德謀殺案》)。1952年她最著名的劇本《捕鼠器》被搬上舞颱,此後連續上演,時間之長久,創下瞭世界戲劇史上空前的紀錄。
1971年,阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂得英國女王冊封的女爵士封號。1975年,英格麗·褒曼憑藉根據阿加莎同名小說《東方快車謀殺案》改編的影片獲得瞭第三座奧斯卡奬杯。阿加莎數以億計的仰慕者中不乏顯赫的人物,其中包括女王伊麗莎白二世和法國總統戴高樂。
1976年,她以85歲高齡永彆瞭熱愛她的人們。
精彩書評
Chicago Daily Tribune “[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion.” New York Herald Tribune “Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business.” More Reviews (4) Fewer Reviews New York Times “What more…can a mystery addict desire?” Times Literary Supplement (London) “Need it be said—the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.” Library Journal These are the initial eight volumes in what will grow to 24 over two years in Black Dog's new "Agatha Christie Collection." The books are all decent-quality hardcovers for a bargain price. If you're regularly replacing your Christies, gives these more durable editions a try. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information. Library Journal This dramatization of Christie's famous murder mystery is admirably presented by the BBC. Hercule Poirot unravels a murder when the train from Istanbul to Paris--the Orient Express--is stopped by a snow drift in the Balkans. Using his flawless logic and innate ability to evaluate the evidence, Poirot solves the mystery and the dilemma faced by the occupants of the coach. The various narrators who portray the story's numerous characters are uniformly excellent, and the sound quality is good. Recommended for most mystery collections.-- Joanna M. Burkhardt, Univ. of Rhode Island Coll. of Continuing Education Lib., Providence
