A classic who dunnit, and perhaps Agatha Christie’s most famous novel, Murder on the Orient Express is a revered ‘locked room’ mystery featuring the inimitable Hercule Poirot. During the session, we will discuss Christie’s complex plots, her insistence on truth-telling, and the role played by Poirot’s interest in human psychology. Murder on the Orient Express is the author at the height of her powers and there is a great deal to learn and reflect on for both modern reader and writer.
