I have started to read an Agatha Christie book for my novel. She is a very well known and best selling mystery novelist who has made many books. She has also made books with different detectives, but she still has Scotland Yard help them in most of her books. The novel i am reading is titled Murder on the Orient Express, and it is also published as Murder in the Calais Coach. The main detective in this book is the famous Hercule Poirot, who is her best known character and is featured in most of her mystery novels. The book takes place on the Stamboul-Calais Coach, which poirot must take in order to get back to London due to his detective business. On the train there are a number of interesting people who are also present, including a Princess Dragomiroff from Russia. But most interesting of all is Poirot's curiosity about a passenger called M. Ratchett.
Poirot is curious towards this Ratchett because he has an air of malevolence about him, even though Poirot only saw him for the first time. However, Poirot actually talks to him. But what iix really interesting is what he says. M. Ratchett thinks someone aboard the train is going to kill him. But Poirot refuses to help him, why i still do not exactly know.
I think that this Ratchett character is in danger, seeing as it is a mystery novel, so something bad has to happen. Do you think this Ratchett will be murdered, or do you think Poirot will stop the murderer before it is too late? I personally think he will be murdered, but i also believe that Poirot will undoubtedly catch the murderer before the train stops its voyage.
