My first Agatha Christie and I loved it.
I picked this up because I wanted something short, sharp, absorbing, and plotty, but also not too dark, and I would say this fitted the bill perfectly.
I have also always had a thing about sleeper trains,I I find the idea of them really romantic. However, my personal circumstances mean I am very unlikely to find myself on one, so I have to live vicariously through others.
Having said that, I am glad I wasn't on this particular journey because being stuck in a snow drift would be the least of my worries.
